Encore episode 126, raising an athlete, advice from an Olympic mom.

Three-time Olympian and mom of three, Lauren Regula, explains how we can all better manage

the stresses of school sports. What do we really need to know when raising

an athlete? I was surprised by the one question she asked her kids every night at the dinner

table. We've started using that very same question at our house. We hope you'll enjoy this

encore presentation, raising an athlete, advice from an Olympic mom with special guest, Olympian,

Lauren Regula.

Well, I'm so excited for our guest today, Lisa, because I don't know about you.

I was the high school nerd, and I sat on left bench on every single sports team in high school.

I actually played sports in high school, and it was a big part of my life. I did. I played

in the fall and in the spring, and then I grew up in Colorado, so we skied all winter. And, you know,

I'm a decent athlete, nothing special. But for me, it was a huge part of my high school career.

And then I've continued to, you know, enjoy working out ever since. But I loved it in high school.

Yeah.

I appreciate the value sports after, now being 42 and realizing how much it helps me mentally.

So I can't wait to have our next guest sort of talk to us about her take on it.
