About this listen

 Real honest conversations about topics related to youth sports: coaching, parenting, and player development. The hosts have lived in both worlds of parent and coach. Those two worlds have even intersected, as they have coached their own children. The main purpose of this podcast is to be useful. Useful to those who coach. Useful to those who parent. Useful to those who are still playing. Sometimes we have guests, and sometimes we just talk about things – often things that are difficult – but we always have fun! And, we always seek to grow and learn. We hope you'll join our conversation!Chris Stewart and Pat Martin
