We are going to challenge you as parents to get radically (think BMX bike tricks, or not!) honest, the first step in building an unbeatable mindset--you simply cannot skip it and expect to come off conqueror!

Here are a few of teaser questions:

• What does being "radically honest" mean for you and what would that look like in your relationship with your teen athlete or performer?
• How honest are you with yourself and your strengths and areas for growth?
• What would change if you approached every situation with complete honesty?

Honestly, let's get radically honest so we can shine as parents and lead the way for our kids!

Giannis Antetokounmpo (say that 5 times fast!), the all star forward and one time MVP of the National Basketball Association's Milwaukee Bucks is currently experiencing painful playoff adversity in more ways than one. At publishing time of this episode (April 29, 2024) he is hobbled by a late season injury that has kept him out of the series with the Indiana Pacers which has also contributed to them facing first round elimination for the second consecutive year. Ugh! So let's rewind a bit...

Back on April 26, 2023. The Eastern Conference #1 seeded Milwaukee Bucks had just been eliminated from the playoffs in the first round by the #8 seed, the Miami Heat. By most observers, this was an unexpectedly quick end to the Bucks' season.

In this short episode of The Stop Parenting & Start Coaching Podcast we discuss NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo's answer to the following question in a post game press conference following the disappointing defeat: "Do you view this season as a failure?"

We are downright giddy of the widespread broadcast of this press conference question. We are likewise jazzed that it was asked of a well respected, well grounded, not to mention immensely talented, professional athlete such as Giannis.

The question and answer provides a golden opportunity for you as a parent to really think about your own thinking relative to "failure" and "success." What is your definition of success? We believe this question and your answers can open the door of discovery as you intentionally engage in meaningful discussions with your spouse and teens concerning your definitions of "failure" and "success." Enjoy!
