Description
LeadtheGame's Locker Talk helps parents turn everyday youth sports moments into opportunities for better performance today and leadership development for life.
Hosted by leadership coach and LeadtheGame founder Sam Powell, each episode explores what athlete behavior is really communicating — from confidence crashes and emotional reactions to defensiveness, mistakes, and struggles under pressure — and how parents and coaches can respond in ways that help athletes grow.
Through real stories, practical strategies, and a leadership development lens, Locker Talk is rethinking the role parents play in player development.
Because youth sports doesn't automatically develop leaders. With intentionality, it can.
