This one is for the parents. You told us you want to learn from not only the champions but the parents of champions. The support team. The wind beneath their wings.

Kim Skinner tells the drama filled behind the highlights story of raising a champion. Olympic silver medalist Gymnast Mykyla Skinner

One of The greatest gifts a parent can give a child is the gift of Belief. Be the one that says “ you can do it” not the one that says... “not many people do that” and feed your kids the stories of champions to build their belief so that they have the mindset.” If they can do it. I can do it”

Max Mylett - Golf & the Power of Positive Leadership

Buckle up champions. GOLF THIS WEEK! And it is ALL ABOUT THE POWER OF the mind and those that influence it. We are back with one of the best stories we have ever heard. It is the story of Max Mylett and the leadership of his father Ed mylett. We hear how Ed had to change his belief to lead and empower his son to transform before his eyes. Through the game of golf, we learn of a defining moment that changed the trajectory of Max’s whole life. A young boy and a dad not ready to give in or give up on his son. We learn the power that we as parents, teachers, and coaches have to pour belief into a child and fire them up to claim what they have worked for. We are reminded that with the right influence - the mind of a child is so malleable and quick to change. Rememnber Champions. During times of doubt, frustration and low confidence. You can turn the tide. ENJOY. And carry on.
