Parents spend thousands developing their athlete — practices, private lessons, tournaments, hours in the bleachers. Coaches pour in just as much — game plans, late nights, lineup decisions, hard conversations.
And then the game ends badly. The kid is quiet on the car ride home. The team is flat in the dugout. And neither parents nor coaches were ever really taught what to say next. Do you encourage? Critique? Give space? Push?
Most sports parents have never been taught how to be sports parents. Most coaches have never been taught how to coach the mental side.
That changes here. Every month, Jay Jackson hosts dedicated calls inside the community — for parents, and for coaches. Honest conversations about the hardest parts of raising and developing young athletes, with frameworks you can actually use that night.
Because developing a great athlete starts at home and continues in the dugout!
Former MLB pitcher. AI Technology & GTM Leader.

Bob File brings a rare lens to modern leadership: the pressure-tested habits of a former Major League pitcher and the practical operating experience of a GTM leader working with complex technology.
His best talks live at the intersection of preparation, adoption, resilience, and decision quality. The message is direct: pressure does not create your habits. It exposes them.
