The Power Forward Mindset Podcast Is Here
Student-athletes, parents, coaches, and anyone who believes sports are about more than the scoreboard: this one's for you!
I’ve been paying attention to what makes certain people feel magnetic. It almost always comes back to the same thing: they listen really well. It’s a skill that takes practice and intention, and one I hope to keep strengthening.
One way to practice? Start a podcast!
The best part of this process has been the opportunity to learn things like:
- The friend I thought grew up in Oregon actually only moved there as a teenager.
- The teammate who seemed to have it all was quietly putting debilitating pressure on herself.
- The high school coach who terrified me with her strict rules was actually doing her best to shape us into respectful humans.
Turns out, the best conversations happen when you stop assuming and start asking. And the even better part of the process? I get to share these conversations, and all the wisdom inside of them, with you.
