Helping Kids See Their Worth Beyond the Scoreboard (with MLB player Travis Snider)

Former MLB outfielder Travis Snider joins us to talk about one of the biggest challenges in youth sports today: identity. When our kids start believing their value comes only from performance, stats, or wins, it sets them up for anxiety, burnout, and a shaky sense of self.

In this conversation, Travis shares openly about his own struggles tying his worth to baseball — from being labeled “that kid” at 10 years old, to fighting pressure and panic attacks in high-stakes games, to the identity crisis he faced when his career ended. Now as a dad and coach, he’s determined to help the next generation of athletes develop resilience, joy, and identity that go deeper than sports.

We cover:

How early pressure and achievement-based identity shape kids
What parents can do to protect their child’s sense of self
Why rest, fun, and unstructured play matter more than extra reps
Practical ways to handle the car ride home, feedback, and emotional control
How apologizing and repairing with our kids builds long-term trust

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your child from tying their entire self-worth to wins and losses, this episode will give you perspective, tools, and encouragement.
