I've never spent much time sharing the background
to Winning Youth Coaching. I was a frustrated youth coach and looking for a way to help others in the same boat.
So I built something that I knew I would find useful. There were plenty of good books, clinics, and courses out there, but between raising a family, working full-time, and coaching - who has time?
Light bulb - what about a podcast (OK, keeping it real - it was totally my wife's idea. Janet is the best.) You can spend 1 hour per week while driving to work or jogging around the block learning from great coaches all over the world. By the end of the year - you have gained 50 hours of training, that's the equivalent of going to a 5+ day coaching conference!
It's been awesome. 126 episodes. 200,000 downloads. Hundreds of conversations with coaches like you on how we can do it better, no not better, how we can make it epic.
So here's where I need your input. I want to continue improving how I can serve you. Better guests. More time to research and plan great
content and questions. Downloadable tools for things like practice planning, establishing core covenants, icebreaker activities, and much more. More time to answer emails and talk with you. A better website (yes I know the current one is very antiquated.)
I have spent much of my time in 2017 pursuing sponsors for the podcast, so I can invest in the show. Here’s two problems I have run
into:
1 - Many of the sponsors I have worked with want some level of control of the content of the show. And that’s the last thing I want.
2 - It is very time-consuming hunting down sponsors.
I have found a few good ones, but several of
my good friends in the podcasting world have gone to a patron model to eliminate the time-consuming struggle to find sponsors, and I am considering doing the same. I might keep a couple of the sponsors I currently have relationships with, but I would re-direct my time towards creating content valued by you.
So can you help me decide the future
direction of WYC by taking 15 seconds to answer the following question?
To help keep WYC an epic coaching resource, I would be willing to contribute (this is just a poll, no commitment at this time):
a - $2 per podcast episode ($8 per month)
b - $4 per podcast episode ($16 per month)
c - $6 per podcast episode ($24 per month)
d - $8 per podcast episode ($32 per month)
e - $10 per podcast episode ($40 per
month)
f - I am loaded and want to donate $___,___ to the Youth Coaching Nation movement (can't hurt to ask!) :)
Just hit reply to this email and send me your answer, thank you, I appreciate you so much!
