In this episode, Coach Reed Maltbie talks with me about a very touchy subject – the impact the old coaching style of verbal abuse, humiliation, and teasing has on our kids. He talks about all of the research that he’s discovered that confirms that the ‘old school’ style of coaching can actually cause brain damage and effect our kids psychologically longer term.

He talks about how it’s not only the coaching style, but parenting style that can have a life long effect our kids. In particular, how the words that we choose to use can

How can we use words as an empowerment tool versus a destructive tool?

Research indicates that for every 1 negative word it takes 5 positive to undo it. Negative words have far more damaging effects than the positive ones.

Coach Reed Maltbie explores the idea that it is impossible to multi task and talks about why. He gives amazing scientific data that is profound, thought provoking and enlightening! An episode worth listening to!

He also talks about his chapter in the #1 best selling book series ‘Your Shift Matters: Surviving to Thriving’ and how he decided to climb his own personal Mount Everest!

How to Make a Big Shift in Your Life
