In this episode, we break down what coaching is for kids—and what it is not. You’ll learn how coaching differs from therapy, when it makes sense as a standalone support, and how it can work alongside counseling. We explore the science behind coaching-related skills like self-regulation, resilience, and goal-setting, and why a non-judgmental, low-pressure space can help kids thrive instead of just survive.What You’ll Learn:The key differences between coaching and therapyWhy coaching is future-focused and skill-basedHow coaching supports kids who don’t need clinical treatmentWhen coaching complements counseling instead of replacing itWhy a safe, non-judgmental space reduces resistance and pressureHow weekly coaching builds confidence, clarity, and follow-throughWhat research says about self-regulation, resilience, and youth developmentResearch & Evidence Discussed:Self-regulation interventions linked to improved academic, behavioral, and health outcomesResilience-building programs improving youth mental health and copingSocial and emotional learning research showing gains in confidence, decision-making, and performanceProfessional distinctions between coaching and psychotherapyWho This Episode Is For:Parents whose child feels stressed, stuck, or unmotivatedFamilies who don’t feel therapy is necessary but want supportParents with a child already in counseling who want practical, skill-based reinforcementCaregivers of strong-willed or independent kids who resist pressureKey Takeaway: Coaching is not about fixing kids—it’s about equipping them.

Masculinity matters because men need a place to anchor themselves in a world that constantly pulls them in every direction. Healthy masculinity isn’t about being hardened or unreachable. It’s about being grounded. It’s the quiet confidence to take responsibility, to protect what matters, to lead your own life with clarity, and to show up for the people who count on you. When men don’t have a framework for strength, purpose, and emotional resilience, they drift — and drifting is where burnout, loneliness, and self-doubt grow.Healthy masculinity gives men a compass. It shapes how they handle adversity, how they love, how they work, and how they show up in their communities. When a man knows who he is, he becomes steady. He becomes someone his family can rely on, someone his peers respect, and someone who can face difficulty without collapsing under the weight of it.That’s why these conversations matter. That’s why men’s work matters. And it’s why Stand Sure Coaching exists — to help men build strength from the inside out, to develop resilience without shutting down emotionally, and to live with purpose instead of pressure.If this resonates, explore more at www.StandSureCoaching.com and get deeper access on Patreon at Patreon.com/StandSureCoaching

Show Notes — “Why Coaching Gets a Bad Rap in the Military (And Why It Shouldn’t)”Today Rob is going to ruffle some feathers and speak some hard truths about coaching.

But that mindset is costing veterans purpose, clarity, and forward momentum.In this episode Rob breaks down:• Why mandatory “resiliency briefings” poisoned the word coaching • How fake, self-proclaimed coaches damaged trust • Why coaching is not therapy, mentorship, or motivation • Why veterans assume they don’t need help • Why transition wrecks identity harder than people admit • How real, ethical coaching restores direction, purpose, and missionRob also speaks from experience. He averages more than 300 hours of paid coaching every year, working with veterans, leaders, and high performers who need clarity—not clichés.This episode pulls no punches.
