Your kid is not defined by their wins and losses.
In this episode of Healthy Sports Parents, Liberty University Head Coach Ritchie McKay joins Jonathan Carone for one of the most grounded, heartfelt conversations we’ve ever had about identity, faith, family, and loving the game more than the win.
Coach McKay has led Liberty basketball to NCAA Tournament wins and conference championships, but what stands out most is his perspective on people, not performance. He shares:
- Why kids need to find joy in the process, not just the scoreboard
- How parents can help their child’s identity stay separate from performance
- The role gratitude and unconditional love play in raising healthy athletes
- His take on specialization vs. multi-sport athletes
- Encouragement for parents who feel the pressure to get everything right
If you’re a parent trying to raise kids who love the game and grow into strong, healthy adults in the process, this conversation will give you perspective, encouragement, and a whole lot of wisdom.
New episodes every Wednesday.
