  • Summary

  • Alexa and Darryl Keckler discuss the unique challenges and advantages of being married to another coach and how this influences both their coaching and parenting styles. They emphasize the importance of understanding what each other is going through, supporting each other during different sports seasons, and prioritizing the parent-child relationship over athletic success.


    They highlight the importance of allowing their children to explore their interests without forcing them into specific sports or activities, and they emphasize teaching their children that their value isn't tied to their athletic performance but to who they are as individuals.


    The Kecklers also discuss the complexities of youth sports, particularly the pressures of specialization and the influence of club coaches. They advocate for multi-sport participation and caution against early specialization, emphasizing the need for children to enjoy their sports experience.


    Both coaches stress the importance of the life skills and values that sports teach, such as teamwork, hard work, and the importance of the journey rather than the destination — sharing insights into how they instill these values in both their children and their athletes.
