Ep 316: How do you coach your own kids?

https://teachhoops.com/

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.
