Join us in this eye-opening episode as we delve into the controversial coaching tactics of Kim Mulkey for our Par For the Course segment. While Mulkey's intense coaching style has garnered attention, we discuss the complexities beneath the surface. Next, we reveal how performance anxiety is often misunderstood and explore what truly happens in the therapy room when athletes seek support. This episode challenges common perceptions and sheds light on the multifaceted nature of performance anxiety.

We are back with episode two and we're getting the hang of it! We couldn't get too far into podcasting without talking about the current belles of the (foot) ball! We take on a recent article that notes the Kelce brothers make it "cool" to be emotional in sports (we're not a fan of that perspective). Then, a listener asks a fundamental question about kids choosing only one sport - we break down the pros and cons along with the overwhelming research findings about specialization. Join us as we confront the sobering realities and urgent implications of prioritizing early specialization in youth sports.

Hey hey! It's the very first episode and we are so thrilled for these conversations! In this episode, we talk about Kelsey Plum's sage advice about Caitlin Clark, how being a competitor is not the only part of an athlete, and Katie and Tiffany both share examples of what happens when we think we know all there is to know about a person.
