We’re asking a powerful question: Is "it" optional or essential? What is "it?" Tune it to find out as we explore how the concept of "NECESSITY" can help you lead your teen more effectively, especially if they’re navigating high-stakes performance in sports or the performing arts.

Yep, in the deep water we'll find out how the high performance habit of necessity creates clarity and most importantly, a deeper, better connection with your teen.
