ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Coach Jerry Seymour, owner of the Running Back Academy, shares his coaching style and approach to working with athletes of all ages. He emphasizes the importance of painting scenarios and creating visualizations for players to enhance their understanding and performance. Coach Seymour works with athletes from the NFL down to eight-year-old kids, focusing on building their skills and mental resilience. He encourages undersized running backs to embrace the mindset of 'heart over height' and do more to prove themselves. Our conversation focused on several key themes, including the importance of enjoying the process, staying neutral as a parent, the characteristics of successful athletes, the role of character in sports, controllable factors for success, and the value of investing in oneself. This is a MUST listen for any parent of an athlete out there.
