How do I balance sports, family and faith? with Elisabeth and Sarah Hasselbeck

Are you raising athletes? Are you struggling with how to best support them? Are you thinking about how their faith impacts their sport - or informs their sport? We have two experts today on the podcast, Elisabeth and Sarah Hasselbeck - both are wives of former NFL players and moms of D1 athletes. Listen to this episode with the entire family. Maybe sports is a place of disagreement in your family and this could open up some healthy dialogue with your spouse and children. Sarah and Elisabeth share such practical tips for you as you parent your athletes. Don’t miss the end when both Sarah and Elisabeth share about the bigger picture of parenting. They take a moment to give heartfelt wisdom and encouragement for all parents (not just those with athletes)! I am so thankful for these two ladies and the legacy of faith their family is leaving in the sports community. In this episode, we discuss: The Hasselbeck family and their history of sports and faith Parental involvement in sports How to make faith the highest priority in your home How to help your athletes face setbacks and disappointments I have a feeling this will be one of your favorite episodes of the year.
