Summary: I don't know about you, but the holidays are crazy in our house especially with Christmas coming right around the corner, so this week we are throwing it back to one of our favorite episodes that aired this past spring, have a listen! Michael is a New York Times bestselling author, co-founder of The New Day Foundation, a non-profit serving families fighting cancer, and former co-host of the radio show, Your Family Matters, on Salem Broadcasting in Detroit. He has also been a basketball coach for more than 30 years. He and his wife Gina have raised five children, all of whom were varsity athletes. He brings a unique perspective on youth sports and plus… he’s a native Chicagoan with a true appreciation for what actually constitutes a Deep Dish pizza. One excellent question Michael asks is: “What’s your ‘why’? Why are you doing this?”Have you paused to answer this question as a parent?Have you stopped to ask your young athlete the same question?Are you on the same page? Do you want the same things?If the answer is “yes,” we can move forward together.If not, maybe it’s time to re-evaluate what the next step is as a family.If you liked what you heard today, Subscribe to Bad Soccer Dad on Apple Podcats, Google Play, or Spotify and leave us a review.
