Hosts Chris, Armond, and Anthony discuss the demise of youth sports via sport specialization. Though mentioned as a $30-$40 million dollar industry, we now know that youth sports market is now valued at over $35 billion, pitting outcomes against process. Pressure over fun. Chris suggests that grownups reflect and discuss personal goals with their kids on their youth sport experience to help clarify the journey and merit of playing multiple sports.

In this thought-provoking episode, Chris and Anthony introduce "The LeBron Model," a concept that explores how to support and nurture rising young athletes both on and off the court. Set in a (too) lively, greenhouse-like atmosphere, the hosts dive into the pressing need for increased regulation around Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals and the importance of having honest conversations with families about opportunities that may appear too good to be true.

The discussion also sheds light on the innovative and compassionate ways in which LeBron James has advocated for his inner circle. From supporting his friends' educational and professional pursuits to uplifting his community through the groundbreaking I Promise School, LeBron's actions serve as a powerful example of how elite athletes can use their influence to create positive change.

Join Chris and Anthony as they examine the complex world of athlete development and the far-reaching impact of LeBron's unique approach to success and community building.

PS. Re greenhouse, this was one of the first episodes we recorded and as such (on the YouTube version), you'll see an incredible amount of plants in the background. After recording this and one more episode, we've since removed some greenery. Please excuse our indulgance.

This episode of Coaching While Black talks about parents. Oh, parents. Sport parents, to be exact. Parents - we need to be better at our kid's games. Armond has some advice on how to help, as well as Anthony and Chris who suggest creating opportunities for parents to be involved in a POSITIVE way. Claire talks about how she's that parent that sits off and ignores the other parents because of the negative culture but by the end of the episode, rolls around to (maybe) starting a sports parent community. Maybe.

Armond, Anthony, and Chris reflect on the power of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and their environments, already grounded in healing-centered principles, creating a powerful experience for young Black students.
