Description
Youth sports are not about winning games. They’re about raising great humans who are prepared for life beyond the field.
Healthy Sports Parents is a youth sports podcast for parents who care more about the kid than the outcome. Hosted by Jonathan Carone, the show explores how sports can be used to teach character, resilience, and emotional health without turning the experience into pressure for kids or parents.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
