Arash is back for part two; parenthood, mentorship and what you should look for when choosing a coach for your kids.
Arash Soofiani is back for a deep dive into how to set your kids up for success in the world of jiu-jitsu.
We cover what to look for in a gym and the role of the coach in a child’s life— this isn’t about pumping out the next world champion, it’s about giving kids a space to have fun, make mistakes, explore movement and grow.
Lastly, we address the do’s and don’ts for parents at sporting events. Newsflash—screaming from the sidelines like it’s Game 7 of the Finals isn’t helping. Support your kid, but let the coach do the coaching.
If you’re looking to bring your kids to a place where they can thrive on and off the mats, this episode is for you.
If you want to dominate your life, crush your goals, and hear straight talk from the world’s best, SUBSCRIBE below to Power Athlete Radio – because iron sharpens iron:
