Welcome back to Part 2 of our conversation with Coach Jace Riley, founder of @6AMPractice and dad of three athlete sons.

In this episode of The Positively Healthy Mom Podcast, host Laura Ollinger dives deeper with Coach Riley on the emotional realities of parenting student athletes — from jealousy between siblings, to frustration with coaches, to what to say when your kid is just done.

💬 This episode is about more than sports. It’s about team culture at home, how to handle tough seasons as a family, and why memories matter more than medals.

• Why your kid talks more to teammates than to you — and how to change that
• The emotional toll of raising athletes (and what moms can do to refuel)
• How to support siblings without creating competition
• What to say when your teen feels overlooked or "glazed" by coaches
• The key difference between support and over-involvement
• Creating a family experience around sports, no matter the win/loss
• How to reframe game-day frustrations into long-term resilience
• Coach Riley’s tools: Game Day Kit, Parent Playbook, and Reset Systems

• Founder of @6AMPractice on Instagram (82k+ followers)
• Former soccer and basketball coach
• Dad of 3 athlete sons
• Known for bridging the gap between “the parent’s heart and the athlete’s brain”
