Sarah is devoted to helping teen and tween female athletes stay confident, healthy, and in sport longer, and she shares why so many girls leave sports around ages 14–15—and what coaches and parents can do to keep them connected to the game and themselves. Sarah breaks down her MENTOR Model (Mindset, Nutrition, Training, and Recovery) and how it helps young athletes build sustainable routines around fueling, rest, and confidence. She also shares her journey from stay-at-home mom to strength coach and member of Todd Durkin’s Mastermind, and how she supports families through big decisions like taking time off or stepping away from competition. Kelly and Sarah dive into burnout, identity beyond sports, and why adults, too, need recovery and purpose outside work or fitness. Whether you’re a parent, coach, or midlife athlete, this conversation will encourage you to trust your gut and start before you’re ready.
