The opening line for today's show was about sunshine but we must tell you it was sooooooo cold in the studio today--downright frigid! But, we warmed up quickly creating this episode of The Stop Parenting & Start Coaching Podcast for you. We hope you love it and find it useful.

What do BHAG's, Pink Floyd, Steve Chandler, qualifying for the Boston Marathon and "moving futures" have to do with your parenting and coaching? Listen in to find out as we explore all of the above and specifically the following:

--the importance of managing expectations by using a moving future

-- learning to use a balanced goal approach to model chasing your own goals and dreams

--why it is important for us as parents to have BHAG's and then adjust and adapt appropriately as we pursue them?

--what is a real life example of chasing a BHAG?

--what are some practical applications of the balanced goal approach?

And, we'll wrap it all up in Creation Corner where we will challenge you to thoughtfully and carefully answer these two important questions:

--What will you create with your remaining time?

--Who do you have to be to inspire your teen athlete or performer?

It is your time to shine parents and as you do, you will be modeling great behavior for your teen athletes/performers. Let's do this (whatever you're BHAG is!)

And while you're here, would you please share it and/or this episode with a parent friend who could benefit as well. We do this for you and cannot do it without you. We would love a 5 star review from you if we are deserving of such!

We also LOVE the feedback and/or questions you send to us at [email protected]. We'd be honored to discuss your "parenting your athlete/performer question/crisis/issue" on an upcoming episode. We drop new ones every MONDAY!

Moms/Dads--we want you to elevate your parenting. You CAN do this if you "Stop Parenting & Start Coaching" your superstar teen! You are doing better than you think and your teen athlete or performer is counting on you. Let's goooooooo! -Nate & Steve
