195: How We’re Raising Little Athletes

In this episode, I’m diving into a question I get all the time—how are we raising our kids to be little athletes? As a former Division I athlete, coach, and now a sport mom to two high-energy boys, I share our family’s values, routines, and philosophies around youth sports. This conversation is rooted in real experience, not just opinion, and is especially for those of you navigating this season of life as athlete moms.   Whether you’re just entering motherhood or deep in the youth sports world, this is about more than just raising athletes—it’s about raising well-rounded, physically confident, emotionally intelligent kids who value movement and commitment.   Need workouts for your pregnancy or postpartum?
