Every player deals with the end of the season in a different way.   Nino & Tony discuss ways to view the season as a success even if your team doesn't win the championship.  They also come with a bunch of ideas on how to take a break from the sport that they love. 

When we sit back and think about the role that mom's play in young athletes, bright students and just overall good people, it's really eye-opening.   In this episode, Nino & Tony explore the role of many types of mothers: single moms, working mothers, & stay-at-home moms.   Throughout the discussion it becomes apparent why we should find an opportunity to celebrate mother's in some way, every day.

In our ultra competitive world, we often focus on goals of independent development.  If you have a team-first mentality, does it mean you are soft or lack ambition?  In our latest episode, Nino & Tony discuss the definition of being a good teammate, how it impacts your own goals and why it's important.  

One of the topics we have been dealing with personally is Independence. In the latest episode, Nino & Tony explore what it is, why it's important and how to gain it.  The guys address it within the context of school, sports and the parent/child relationship. 

When we set out to achieve a goal, we start with a plan.  The two factors that determine if we meet that goal are structure and discipline.  Nino & Tony dive into why those elements are important and how we can consistently move forward. Plus a little bit of Met talk.

When we play a sport that we love but we're not getting the playing time on the field/court, it can be VERY frustrating .  Nino & Tony suggest some tips that you can take to help regain command of the situation and can determine the next steps.  The boys also suggest some important communication tips when working with your coach.
