In this episode of Leave Your Legacy with host Kenyon Murray, the focus is on the importance of mental wellness in youth sports. As spring sports ramp up, Kenyon highlights both the positive and negative impacts of athletics on young athletes. While sports provide fitness, teamwork, and self-confidence, they can also contribute to self-doubt, pressure, and mental health struggles. He emphasizes that children should not be solely defined by their sport and warns against the dangers of placing too much emphasis on winning. When kids associate their self-worth with victories, it can lead to undue stress and anxiety, making it crucial for parents and coaches to foster a supportive environment that prioritizes effort and growth over just results.Kenyon also discusses the pitfalls of perfectionism and comparison in sports. With the rise of social media, young athletes are constantly measuring themselves against others, leading to unrealistic expectations and added pressure. He shares a personal coaching experience where his high expectations unintentionally created fear among his players, preventing them from performing at their best. He stresses the need for parents and coaches to encourage resilience, learning from mistakes, and embracing imperfection as part of growth. When athletes feel the weight of perfectionism, their love for the game can diminish, which is why fostering a culture that values progress over perfection is essential. To support youth mental wellness, Kenyon provides actionable tips for parents and coaches. He urges them to communicate with their children about their goals, allow them to explore different sports instead of specializing too early, and ensure they take breaks to prevent burnout. Most importantly, he reminds listeners to keep sports fun—because at its core, sports should bring joy, camaraderie, and personal fulfillment. By focusing on these principles, parents and coaches can create an environment where young athletes thrive both on and off the field.

In this powerful roundtable discussion, host Kenyon Murray sits down with Brody Tubaugh (Lead Pastor at Hope Lutheran Church), John Choate (Owner of Storyline Multimedia), and Jeff Johnston (Founder of Brightn, a mental wellness app for youth). Together, they explore the challenges men face in opening up, the role of faith in personal growth, and the impact of life-changing experiences.

Each guest shares their personal journey—Jeff's transition from wealth management to mental wellness advocacy after personal tragedy, John's shift in faith after leaving a controlling church environment, and Brody’s mission to create a welcoming space for people to explore their beliefs. The conversation also dives into the importance of community, overcoming struggles, and finding purpose in life's toughest moments.
