You Were Never Meant to Choose Just One

You Were Never Meant to Choose Just OneWhat happens when a society tells kids to pick one sport, one path, one identity before they even know who they are yet?In this episode I'm fired up about something I watched during Masters week that I can't stop thinking about. Multi-sport athletes showing up to the Drive Chip and Putt finals, kids who do it all, and somehow we're still out here telling children to specialize at eight years old.But this goes way beyond sports. We talk about what Barbara Corcoran's mom got right that most of us get wrong, why your brain believes whatever you repeatedly tell it, and the second grade teacher who changed the trajectory of my entire life with one sentence.And somewhere in the middle of all of it I ask the question I keep coming back to lately: how is this working out for me? Because that one question changes everything.This one's a little all over the place. But it all ties back to one thing.
