This week, we are happy to welcome author, podcaster and motivational speaker Kirsten Jones to The Hamilton Review Podcast!
In this conversation, Kirsten shares a lot of valuable information from her book, “Raising Empowered Athletes” including helping our kids move through discomfort, leaning into the things that we value as parents and helping them get to the other side.
Kirsten and Dr. Bob also talk about youth sports, burn out and more.
Parents, this is a must listen conversation!
Kirsten Jones is a motivational speaker, author, podcaster and Peak Performance Coach. Along with Susie Walton (mother of former NBA player and coach, Luke Walton, and three other peak-performing sons), she is the co-host of the popular #RaisingAthletes Podcast, based in Los Angeles.
Jones is an empowered, successful athlete herself: she played Division I volleyball and is a member of the William and Mary Athletics Hall of Fame. She was a fifteen year executive at NIKE in both Europe and the U.S.
Ten years ago, Kirsten was certified through a Tony Robbins life-coaching program, Strategic Intervention. She started life coaching, doing motivational speaking, coaching youth sports teams and writing a monthly blog. Sports have been a constant in her life- whether player herself, coaching her children, or working with athletes and their parents as a Peak Performance coach.
Over the last five years, Kirsten has spoken to thousands of middle school, high school, and college athletes: parents; coaches; and sports administrators about the increasing pressure to compete both on and off the court– and how to thrive as both an athlete and a human being while effectively coping with all that pressure.
She is the mother of three athletes. One played Division I basketball at Boston University and is now playing for DIII at Claremont Graduate University while getting his MBA; a second son, also a Division I basketball player, is a sophomore at Colgate University; and a daughter who just finished high school and played club volleyball throughout, is now a freshmen at Loyola Marymount University Film School. Kirsten’s super power is helping people get out of their heads and into their bodies so they can feel their best and perform beyond what even they dreamed possible.
