Why Losing is Good for Your Kids - E12
How do you handle loss and adversity? What's it like to lose the Super Bowl? Can burnout be avoided? - All this and more in E12!
In this episode we start with some crazy stories from Paul's high-school days - one of which ends with "like 20 cop cars." Danny then shares how he handled haters and hecklers while playing in college and we share our conviction that youth sports (parents - we're talking to you!) have gotten out-of-control.
Some of our best life lessons came from being on a "bad" team and handling losses. Danny talks about what it was like to lose the Super Bowl and how he personally walked through it with his family. We then chat about raising resilient kids and how burnout is a trap you can take simple, concrete steps to avoid.
We hope you're strengthened and encouraged by spending this time with us! And, as Paul says, "be blessed!"
