ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this back-to-school episode of the Champion Forward Podcast, John and Ben talk about the shift from summer into the busy fall season. With athletes heading back to school, parents adjusting to new rhythms, and coaches gearing up for the long year ahead, Ben reflects on the challenge of starting a “new race” when the tank already feels low.
Together, they share practical insights on how to navigate the pace of a new season, avoid burnout, and stay grounded in what matters most. Drawing from Ben’s experiences as a professional athlete and the tools Champion Forward teaches, they highlight simple but powerful ways to approach this transition with awareness, balance, and connection.
This conversation is an encouragement for athletes, parents, and coaches alike: even when life ramps up, there are ways to lead with clarity, fuel your energy, and thrive in the season ahead.
