44- My mom, Ann Johnson- On parenting a female athlete, supporting your child’s obsession, and feeding the team

In today’s episode, I interview my mother,  Ann Johnson. I often get asked by parents about what their kid needs to do to make it to the next level. I believe the driving force must come from the kid, but parents can have a huge impact on a child’s well-being. My mom is one of my biggest supporters and is a big reason I am where I am today. She’s also a freak of nature athlete and can kick my butt in workouts.In our conversation we talk about-her favorite type of workouts, including one that can easily be done at home -why she didn’t get involved with coaches decisions, even if she disagreed  -the most challenging aspect of parenting a female athlete    -her stance on kids playing multiple sports vs specializing on one -why parenting athletes is like being a full time chauffeur    -the delicious meals she cooked for my teammates and the crazy games she had us play while w/ the Portland Pilots, Sky Blue FC, and the Portland Thorns  And more. Enjoy my conversation with my favorite mother in the whole wide world.   Share the love Follow Ann Johnson: On Instagram:  @annclairej If you haven’t already, I would be so very grateful if you rated and left me a review of the podcast.
