"Protecting our kids is our number one responsibility", Connie told me when we first connected.

And she took this role incredibly seriously, in the non-conventional ways. Because protecting our kids in sports is rarely talked about and definitely not considered to be a priority. Because it usually is easily missed or we aren't alert to the signs.

Connie and I talk about her role as Kai's coach in the beginning, the roles of coaches (the good and the bad).

How about all the is involved to fully supporting your child for them to become the athlete that they are destined to be. Which is much more than just the financial side of things.

The golden nuggets discussed in this, never before interview, will truly help you take the right steps from Connie, who was a trailblazer in so many ways.
