The Practice Brave Podcast

Parenting youth athletes is a subject I feel passionately about, combining my profession as a coach, and my history as an athlete, with my new reality of being a mom of little athletes. I call it "coach mom," because that is the lens I see their sport experiences through, and If we want to help our kids pursue a lifetime of athleticism, how we raise them as they experience sports at a young age, is critical. This episode covers different strategies and things to be aware of (what to do and what to definitely not do) as your kids begin their lives as athletes.

In this week's episode, Heather Osby is back to interview me about exercise program design, specifically as it relates to pregnancy and postpartum. It can be confusing for coaches and practitioners to know exercises and progressions to help, and even more confusing for athletes because they second guess if their workouts are "right" for them.

This episode helps take big concepts and theories and provides practical and applicable examples.

In this episode, I have a candid conversation about what it took to build local recognition 7 years ago when starting my small coaching programs. I shared what I've been doing now since moving to Idaho and totally starting over in terms of making connections and establishing myself in this area. I provide some practical, not too awkward ways of establishing credibility, networking, and gaining exposure for the work you do.

Miranda and I have been working together through her pregnancy and postpartum return to the Octagon. At seven months postpartum, we met up for a weekend to really dial-in her training, and troubleshoot some of the symptoms she was experiencing now that her fighting intensity has increased.

We discuss positions she was peeing in when fighting, and the adjustments that we have made to her fighting, and her strength and conditioning to give her the confidence and function she needs to perform. This episode is filled with a ton of information and insight into a very unique and incredibly important population of athlete moms.
