In Episode #73, I have a candid and in-depth discussion with Performance Coach, Motivational Speaker and founder of War Room Strength and War Room Speakers Club, Ross Alexander. Ross and I discuss the state of youth sports today compared to decades ago. First, Ross shares his memories and experience as a young athlete in Texas. He discusses what sports he played and what got him interested in playing sports. Ross also shares who his role model was and why that person was an inspiration to him. We discuss the state of today's young athletes compared to years ago and why they seem to have less respect for authority, including parents and coaches. Ross shares why he entered into the public speaking realm. He talks about how his War Room Strength and War Room Speakers Club has helps young athletes. Finally, Ross offers his opinion on the pressure that young athletes face today-or the lack thereof. In the end, I offer my 'Three Takeaways.' Please listen in to this very frank conversation.
