Matt Kwan

This week's episode is for the kids! Or, rather, the coaches and parents who support the kids. My goal for this episode is to help your young students prepare for success in the arena of competition. We discuss training, mindset, parents, tournament day preparations, post-competition reflections, and more. I hope you can takeaway something useful from this episode, and I wish your kids competition team the best of luck on the mats!
