E122 Christmas Special: My Parents

E122 Christmas Special: My Parents

This year I sit down with my parents to discuss fitness and longevity, kids in sports, and parenting athletes. Janet & Bill give insight on how to raise a happy kid and keep playing sports fun at any level.

We also chat about staying active as you age and use my dad's mom as an example. She turns 103 this week. Her siblings are 95, and 97.
