Friends, Competition & Life on Tour // Alexa Pano // Tiger Dads

In this Tiger Dads episode, Beau and Jason kick things off with a conversation about friendship and why it's one of the most overlooked but important parts of youth sports, how the friends our kids make can shape their experience, and why relationships often matter far longer than trophies, rankings, or scores.Then Emmy and Beau sit down with LPGA star Alexa Pano at the JM Eagle LPGA event to talk about one of the most fascinating journeys in golf.Many fans first met Alexa as a young phenom in the documentary The Short Game, where she was already one of the most accomplished junior golfers in the world. A five-time Junior World Champion, Alexa grew up with extraordinary talent, expectations, and attention long before arriving on the LPGA Tour.Alexa reflects on growing up in golf, choosing golf over softball, and why her love of competition made the decision an easy one. She shares how being self-motivated helped fuel her development and how that drive carried her from junior golf star to LPGA winner.But perhaps most importantly, Alexa talks about friendship. From her junior golf days to life on tour, she explains how meaningful relationships have helped her navigate pressure, enjoy the journey, and maintain a healthy perspective on the game. In a sport that can often feel lonely, her friendships have become one of the keys to both her happiness and success.This episode is a reminder that while talent, work ethic, and competition matter, the people you share the journey with may end up being the most important part of all.+++++++++++++++++++++++++Welcome to Tiger Dads, the podcast hacking the world of junior golf...because raising a golfer is hard and therapy is expensive.Featuring interviews with pros, top amateur players, college coaches, celebrity guests and industry experts, each episode offers valuable insight into the do’s, don'ts, and downright wild moments of junior golf.We make the mistakes...so you don't have to!++++++++++++++++++++++++++More Tiger Dads!
