Tim Cortazzo and I dig into raising daughters and sons with different instincts, why toughness is really confidence, and how to coach kids without breaking their spirit. The weight room becomes a tool, not a religion, as we push for specificity, rest, and joy that keeps kids in sport.

• protect versus prepare as a parenting tension
• firm language with positive reinforcement
• problem solving over punishment in behavior and sport
• when to coach your own kid and when to step back
• toughness defined as confidence through experience
• hot stove theory for safe risk taking
• specificity over dogma in the weight room
• alternatives to painful lifts that still drive progress
• creating chaos in practice to close the game gap
• youth sports pitfalls: specialization, volume, burnout
• parents as volume managers and joy protectors
• keep kids enrolled by making it fun and meaningful
