Ep. 82 Building Resilient Kids

In this episode, Amy sits down with Michael Rodriguez, founder of the Unshaken brand, to explore how youth sports can be one of the most powerful tools for raising resilient, purpose-driven adults. Michael unpacks his philosophy that resilience is a muscle, one that gets stronger through losing, benchwarming, and getting back up, and why parents and coaches play a critical role in shaping how kids respond to adversity. Listeners will walk away with a fresh perspective on what it really means to "do your best," practical language to use with young athletes before, during, and after games, and a mindset shift that moves the focus from winning to growing. If you're a parent, coach, or anyone invested in the next generation, this episode is a masterclass in building kids who don't just compete, they persevere.
