In todays episode I get to talk with Coach Gumbs from EmpowerMe academy. He shares tips for parents and coaches about helping athletes not get burnt out on sports. He also tells us about his amazing program he has started! "Founded in 2013, Empower ME Academy provides a holistic training experience. Student-Leaders develop better basketball skills — and in addition, improve their attitude, commitment, and discipline. Ultimately, our Student-Leaders become well-rounded leaders and adults, successful on the court and in life." -Taken from their site but I think totally sums up what they do and why it is so amazing!EMA’s website: https://www.empowermeacademy.net/EMA’s social handles: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and InstagramQuestions, comments, interview requests, etc email [email protected]Don’t forget to rate, review, subscribe!Info on coaching and youth programs at merakirunclub.comFind us on instagram, Facebook and TikTokCheck out our event in May 2023 for The Youth Mental Health Project.--- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/raisingrunners/support
