<p>Greg sits down with Harvard and Stanford-trained psychiatrist Dr. Paul Conti to talk about the mental side of youth sports — how failure shapes kids&#39; brains, why pre-game anxiety isn&#39;t always a bad thing, and what parents and coaches get wrong about confidence, identity, and self-talk.</p><p>Dr. Conti breaks down the shame reflex, explains why what you see on the outside of a kid isn&#39;t always what&#39;s happening inside, and shares the reframe that turns post-game frustration into forward momentum. Greg gets personal about his own parenting blind spots with his three kids.</p><p><br></p><p>🔗 RESOURCES📖 Dr. Conti&#39;s book &quot;What&#39;s Going Right&quot; — <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Going-Right-Powerful-Optimizing/dp/1538776049">https://www.amazon.com/Whats-Going-Right-Powerful-Optimizing/dp/1538776049</a>🌐 Dr. Conti&#39;s website — <a href="https://drpaulconti.com">https://drpaulconti.com</a>🏥 Pacific Premier Group — <a href="https://pacificpremiergroup.com">https://pacificpremiergroup.com</a>Our newsletter: <a href="https://www.youth.inc/newsletter">https://www.youth.inc/newsletter</a></p>
