Welcome to Forward: Better Athletes. Better People.

Youth sports have changed—but the guidance for parents hasn’t.

Hosted by publisher Kevin T. Mulhearn and veteran coach Joe Clemente, Forward explores the conversations every sports parent needs to hear. Drawing from Joe’s book, The Long Ride Home: How to Help Your Kids Shine in Youth Sports (Without Driving Them Crazy), each episode tackles the challenges of raising young athletes while protecting what matters most: your relationship with your child.

Whether you’re a parent, coach, or athlete, you’ll find practical advice, honest stories, and thoughtful conversations designed to help families navigate the highs and lows of youth sports.

Join us each week as we talk with coaches, parents, athletes, and experts about building confidence, handling pressure, communicating better, and creating an environment where kids can thrive—not just as athletes, but as people.

Better Athletes. Better People.
