Damon Lembi on Helping Young Athletes Develop a Learn-It-All Mindset
Welcome to “opening day” here for Season 3 of Sideline Sessions! I’m thrilled to start the season with a great guest, Damon Lembi.
Damon is a two-time bestselling author, the host of The Learn-It-All Podcast, and CEO of Learnit – a live learning platform that has upskilled over 2 million people. He also was a Division-I college baseball player who was drafted to play professionally and draws from this experience to bring an athlete’s perspective to leadership.
Damon is passionate about helping young athletes develop a learn-it-all mindset and moving away from pressuring kids to specialize in one sport. Today, we talk about:
- Damon’s baseball career and the lessons he learned from coaches
- Applying an athlete’s perspective to leadership
- The downsides of specialization and the year-round emphasis on only one sport
- The learn-it-all mindset for youth development
- Building confidence in young athletes
- Navigating pressure and expectations in youth sports
