In this episode I get to reconnect with my passion for working with youth! Brandon Shintani is a high school student in New Jersey and he took the initiative to reach out and ask if I would interview him on my podcast! Of course I said yes!

He is passionate about spreading the word that the mental game in sports is equally as important as the physical game. Brandon's energy, focus and fearlessness are contagious and any adult could learn from his courage to pursue his dreams.
