011 | Sean K. Jensen | MTB Performance Project

In this week’s Episode we have Sean K Jensen. Sean is a former NFL reporter, children’s book author, youth sports coach and host of the “Winning is Not Everything” podcast. 

Sean’s podcast aims to bring sanity back to youth sports by having meaningful conversations around character development, effort and sportsmanship rather than trophies, rankings and all the other negative things that have come with overspecialization in youth sports!

In our discussion we talk about his experiences in youth sports, how it shaped his childhood and help create a career for him as an adult. We also get into what he sees the biggest value coaches can and should bring to their athletes. Along with all the great aspects of youth sports, we get into some of the challenges we are faced with in our current youth sports climate. 

It was a great talk with Sean and I gained some perspective from his years of covering sports at the highest level to his experiences as a coach. 

I hope you enjoy this episode of the MTB Performance Project!
