Andrew Russell welcomes Bret Suffis (Lil Athlete Sports) for a conversation on fatherhood, leadership, and why play is where purpose begins. From non-contact fundamentals and multi-sport exposure to modeling patience on the sidelines, Bret shares how programs can build confidence, character, and community—for kids and parents.
Bret Suffis is the president and owner of Lil Athlete Sports, a Long Island–based youth sports program that helps kids discover confidence, teamwork, and joy through play. Since 2005 he’s coached thousands of young athletes across soccer, baseball, lacrosse, basketball, hockey, and non-contact/flag football—building multi-sport programs that keep things age-appropriate, team-oriented, and fun. Bret’s family-first culture trains coaches to model patience and presence, gives parents flexible ways to stay involved, and treats sports as a language of connection between kids and caregivers.
