Hi. I’m Jonathan.

One day I was watching a 7/8-year-old YMCA basketball game – you know, the kind where they don’t call traveling and the final score is something like 8-6 – and it hit me:

Some of these parents are taking this way too seriously.

They were yelling at the referee (a junior in high school by the way) and treating the entire thing like a dang NBA game.

I knew there had to be a better way to parent our kids through sports.

My goal with Healthy Sports Parents is to help you develop the tools needed to approach your kid’s athletic journey in a healthy way.

On our podcast, we talk to people from all walks of the athletic journey – coaches, former players, a child psychologist, physical therapists, parents, strength coaches… you get the idea – so you can develop a well-rounded perspective on what is needed to help your athlete thrive through their playing years.

If I can ever help in any way, please reach out and let me know.

Here’s to active kids, healthy relationships, and incredible memories we’ll never forget.

PS – If you want my credentials, I have a Bachelor’s in Sport Management with a minor in Coaching, a Master’s Degree in Student Ministry, 3.5 years at a Division I school, and multiple years in all different levels of youth sports.
