When you've done the impossible - coached both girls and boys school wrestling teams to state championships in the same year - you are a coach who knows how to win. So when quitting is the immediate decision after accomplishing such a feat, and you aren't 80 years old, some might consider that a bit confusing. Yet this is exactly what Coach Damon Parker did.

In this starkly honest interview, Coach Damon shares why he quit at the pinnacle of his career, and how that decision turned out to be a courageously, life altering one. He also talks about how he now uses his story to help thousands of kids in Kansas tackle one of the greatest crises facing our youth in the country - unhealthy mental health.

This is not your stereotypical coaching conversation you've come to expect from the Coach UP podcast. It is drastically different and even more powerful because of that. This is a conversation that will leave you with...

And interestingly, through sharing his story, Coach Damon shares some of the most foundationally sound practices a coach can implement that can completely change the trajectory of your business when implemented with precision and consistency. So coaches, this interview is definitely for you, from a mindset perspective to a business principals objective too.

Reminder: After you listen in, do someone a kindness and share this story of resilience, championship mindset, and hope. It is only as we share what can help others become better that we can expect the world to be better. And if you enjoyed this episode, please leave a review.
