Raising Athletes Without Losing What Matters Most || nextTalk Podcast

What if the real win in youth sports isn’t a trophy or scholarship, but a kid who knows who they are? In this episode, we sit down with Merideth Zingelmann, Operations Manager at nextTalk and mom of three college athletes, to unpack a practical path for families who love sports but refuse to let it run their lives. From backyard games and rec leagues to varsity pressure and recruiting, we talk about how to build community, protect identity, and keep faith at the center.
