This show is geared towards anyone who has ever played youth sports, been a parent of a child in youth sports, coached or umped. Travis Snider and Seth Taylor founded 3A Athletics, Bringing Awareness to parents, coaches, and athletes of the changes that need to be made in the culture of Youth Athletics. Activating the true potential of a young athlete by changing the culture through addressing and nurturing the mental approach of the athlete, of the parents, and of the coaches. A changed culture that helps the athlete achieve their true potential, not only in athletics but in life. Co-founded by Travis Snider, longtime MLB outfielder with Toronto, Pittsburgh and Baltimore and Seth Taylor, who is a therapeutic life coach working with MLB and MLS players, as well as high level CEO’s, parents and players in youth sports. Throughout Snider's 16 year professional career, he struggled immensely with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, and various other physical challenges that affected his ability to reach his “potential”. He speaks with Monica saying he didn’t realize until working with Seth that a lot of these issues stemmed from experiences in his childhood that he carried with him through his career. Snider became passionate about this experience kids are having in youth sports after unpacking his own childhood experiences in sports and life that were still positively and negatively affecting his sense of identity and self-worth. 3A content and curriculum facilitate the teaching and learning process so we can explore how we do these things negatively and positively within sports and our culture as a whole.
This show was aired live May 15, 2024 and includes viewer comments and interactions.
