Jon Gordon: The #1 Mistake Parents Make in Youth Sports

from Youth Inc. with Greg Olsen · host Youth Inc.

Bestselling author Jon Gordon (The Energy Bus, Training Camp, The Carpenter) joins Greg Olsen to unpack what he got wrong as a sports parent and the frameworks he wishes he'd known sooner. From the "two hats" rule that transforms the car ride home to the seven commitments that separate great teams from the rest, this is a playbook for any parent or coach who's ever struggled to find the line between pushing kids and supporting them.Greg and Jon dig into why positivity beats negativity without ignoring reality, how to connect before you correct, the brainwashing power of daily practice habits, and the parenting regret Jon wishes he could go back and fix.🔗 LINKSSign up for the Youth Inc. newsletter: https://www.youth.inc/newsletterFor more, visit: https://www.youth.inc/Follow Jon Gordon:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jongordon11/X: https://twitter.com/JonGordon11Books & Speaking: https://jongordon.com/
