Episode Description
Is coaching your own kid really tougher than running a business?
Most people think business takes the top prize for stress, but today’s episode flips that narrative. Bill Flitter sits down with entrepreneur and coach Mark Samuel, who balances building a brand, bodybuilding, and leading his children’s basketball teams, all with more patience than a timeout clock allows.
Are you wearing the Dad hat or the Coach hat… or both at once?
In this episode, you’ll discover:
-
How to navigate the parent-coach balancing act (without losing your cool—or your car keys).
-
Why encouraging mistakes and apologies creates better young athletes and humans.
-
The secret sauce to fostering resilience, confidence, and a winning mindset, beyond just the scoreboard.
Plus, there’s more golden insight just beneath the surface.
