from Talkin Shop with Coach Ballgame, Chop, and Flikke · host Coach Ballgame Inc.
Every season brings pressure: for kids, coaches, and parents alike. In this episode of Talkin’ Shop, we dive into how to help young athletes overcome nerves and perform with confidence, how coaches can better understand and support neurodiverse players, and how to communicate clearly (and calmly) with the well-meaning but ever-present helicopter parent. Because great coaching isn’t just about skills and lineups, it’s about creating environments where every kid feels safe, seen, and able to grow. Practical advice, real stories, and tools you can use at your very next practice. ⚾🎙️
