Today's show is geared towards anyone who has ever played youth sports, been a parent of a child in youth sports, coached or umped. Travis Snider and Seth Taylor founded 3A Athletics, Bringing Awareness to parents, coaches, and athletes of the changes that need to be made in the culture of Youth Athletics. Activating the true potential of a young athlete by changing the culture through addressing and nurturing the mental approach of the athlete, of the parents, and of the coaches. A changed culture that helps the athlete Achieve their true potential, not only in athletics, but in life. Co-founded by Travis Snider, longtime MLB outfielder with Toronto, Pittsburgh and Baltimore and Seth Taylor, who is a therapeutic life coach working with MLB and MLS players, as well as high level CEO’s, parents and players in youth sports. Throughout Snider's 16 year professional career, he struggled immensely with anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, self-sabotage, and various other physical challenges that affected his ability to reach his “potential”. Snider tells me he didn’t realize until working with Seth that a lot of these issues stemmed from experiences in his childhood that he carried with him through his career. Travis and Seth have worked together since 2021 in Snider's own therapeutic process and discovered he had written these books for parents and coaches in youth soccer. The two decided to buy out their former partner and build this business around the already existing products for multiple sports. Snider became passionate about this experience kids are having in youth sports after unpacking his own childhood experiences in sports and life that were still positively and negatively effecting his sense of identity and self-worth. Snider has 3 children (7, 5, 3) who are entering the world of youth sports and his golad is for them to have a healthier experience. 3A will develop the content and curriculum the athletes, parents, instructors and coaches can use to build the foundation upon which they build their lives. Athletes and how they think and play, instructors how they evaluate and train, coaches and how they evaluate and coach. 3A content and curriculum facilitates the teaching and learning process so we can explore how we do these things negatively and positively within sports and our culture as a whole. 3A offers these in their curriculum: HERO- Interactive Parent Guidebook- Baseball, Soccer, Softball available.

Time for Motivation with Monica. Many of you have asked for more workout segments at least once throughout the week that you can do either during the show before you head off to work or to save these workouts for later in the day and for anytime. This one really targets the glutes and hips. You don't need any weights, you can add some if you want extra resistance but the entire workout can be done with your bodyweight alone. This is a high calorie burn. I will also be discussing the mental side of why rest is so important! #therealmonicaadams #talkshow #show #workout #Wednesday #HumpDay #fitness #motivation #inspiration #glutes #training #butt #hips #thighs #gymtime #workoutroutine

Today we will talk about how often people take steps backwards in life and prevent them from keeping their eye on the prize and reaching their potential in the timeframe they have set out to do. Many times this off course action brings people to a state of disappointment, feelings of failure and a lack of patience. What many don't realize is when they don't believe in themselves they are stopping the flow of forward momentum and delaying the organization and goals they originally set for themselves. We will do an interactive show where you weigh in on what has taken you off course and give you the tools that will catapult you forward progress and ultimately set you on course to achieve success and complete your vision. #therealmonicaadams #talkshow #show #believe #vision #goalsetting #goals #cultivate #goalsetting #patience #progress #achieve #visionboard #dreambig #optimism #youcandoit
