Yes!! You're one of the elite parents and coaches who is making winning the right way a habit!

Tired of Sports Radio? Frustrated with the lack of positive messages for youth sports? CHOOSE to do something about it.

I listen to a fair amount of sports radio, and most of the time afterwards I have learned:

The __________ (fill in name of your local professional sports teams) are run by morons
Professional athletes get in a lot of trouble, particularly after midnight
There are plenty of male clinics to help you with any bedroom performance issues you are having

I wrote a few months ago about 4 books that have changed my life, click here to see that post. Today I want to share a few podcasts that constantly change and improve me. I have found podcasts to be a much more productive use of my time vs. sports talk radio. Some of these podcasts I share have huge audiences, and others are new and up-and-upcoming. I have gotten to know all of these hosts - And I'm asking you to not just read this email, but to TAKE ACTION on it. It says in James in the Bible:

'Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth'

So I am asking you to check out these podcasts - and if you believe in them and their message - help get the word out and keep them going by writing a review. Stop complaining about what's happening in youth sports...and do something about it. iTunes reviews can be a bit tricky to enter, so I made some easy-to-follow instructions with screenshots- get them here.
