As a former D1 athlete, nationally recognized performance coach, and podcast host Kirsten Jones is no stranger to finding on and off the pitch! In her new book "Raising Empowered Athletes: A Youth Sports Guide for Raising Happy, Brave, and Resilient Kids," Kristen combines her experiences as an athlete and as a mom of three to help parents, coaches, and mentors support kids in achieving success in sport while becoming well-rounded and resilience human beings in a chaotic, and often intense, youth sports landscape. Today we dive in to:

• How to define "empowered athletes"
• Why good, positive coaching is important to athlete growth & longevity
• Meddling Parents - is there ever a time it's appropriate to intervene in a coach-athlete relationship?
• Non-negotiable mindset for higher performers in sport, business & life
