Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on the challenges of youth sports and fostering healthy relationships between parents and athletes, with episodes ranging from approaching youth sports with a long-term perspective, to understanding referees' experiences, to developing a strong work ethic in children. Specific discussions include balancing competitiveness without burnout, the significance of losing as a growth experience, and the importance of recognizing that children are more than just athletes.
Youth sports are not about winning games. They’re about raising great humans who are prepared for life beyond the field.
Healthy Sports Parents is a youth sports podcast for parents who care more about the kid than the outcome. Hosted by Jonathan Carone, the show explores how sports can be used to teach character, resilience, and emotional health without turning the experience into pressure for kids or parents.

How youth sports can help your kid grow in 2026
As we close out the year, Eric Williams and I sat down to talk through nine lessons we hope every kid learns through youth sports in 2026. This one is fun, honest, and packed with the kinds of conversations we all want our kids to experience as they grow up through sports.
We walk through each lesson on a five minute clock. Some we nail. Others… we definitely race the buzzer. But every one of them points back to the bigger purpose behind these games our kids play.
In this episode we talk about:
• Separating confidence from performance
• Handling hard things without giving up
• Seeing mistakes as feedback
• Why effort creates opportunity
• Navigating big emotions in healthy ways
• The everyday value of being coachable
• How leadership starts with serving
• Why accountability builds trust
• Finding joy in the process, not just the outcome
If you ever wonder what sports are really teaching your kid, this is the episode to start with.
Here’s to a meaningful and healthy 2026 for you and your kids.
