Motown Sports Dad S1E4 - The Pivot

For fathers around Macomb County whose lives revolve around bleachers, weekend tournaments, and the unique challenges of raising a student-athlete, Motown Sports Dad offers a shared bench. Created by Motown Madness, this podcast digs into the real conversations happening in parking lots and kitchen tables after the game. It’s a mix of sports talk and parenting perspective, focusing on how to support a child’s athletic journey without losing balance or perspective.

The discussion naturally covers standout performances and news from area fields and courts, but always through the lens of a parent in the stands.

Tune in for relatable stories, actionable takeaways, and the sense that you’re not figuring it out alone. Each episode of this podcast aims to be a resource, turning the universal experiences of missed shots, hard wins, and long seasons into a guide for being a better sports dad.
