Something Every High School Athlete Needs to Know

This episode is about the things I wish I understood as a young athlete — learning that not every coaching style works for everyone, and that growth comes from experimenting, failing, and finding your own way. I talk about the difference between competition and comparison, how constantly worrying about teammates steals your focus, and why real development is you vs. yesterday’s version of yourself.I also dive into what I see missing in a lot of high school athletes today: selfishness, entitlement, lack of discipline, and being closed off to learning — even when the game is trying to teach you something.
