What role do you, as a parent play in the success and performance of your kids on the field?

The Athlete’s Audio Academy is proud to visit with Robert Andrews, our first repeat guest to talk parenting, performance, and progeny.

We discuss empowering the young athlete, helping them develop new communication skills, and being aware of how what you do in the stands is having an effect on your child during athletic performance.

His areas of expertise, primary areas of focus and passion are working with athletes to help them realize their peak potential as an athlete, helping injured athletes overcome the emotional, mental, and spiritual effects of their sports related injury and teaching coaches how to coach at their best when things are at their worst.
