They are highly sought after by teams, schools, and sport governing bodies around the world for their work in athletic performance, coach education, and parent engagement. Jerry and John cohost the Way of Champions Podcast, as well as the Way of Champions Transformational Leadership Events, and both are national advisory board members of the Positive Coaching Alliance. Their first book together, The Champion Teammate: Timeless Lessons to Connect, Compete and Lead in Sports and Life received international acclaim and is used by high-performing teams and athletes on the youth, high school, college and professional levels.
In this episode, you'll hear John and Jerry discuss the importance of sports parent education and support.
