S2E310: The Resilience Playbook: How to Coach Your Kids Through Failure Without Coddling
27-02-2026 | 25 Min.
Former WNBA player, NY Knicks Coach, and UCLA Hall of Famer and Texas Sports Academy Coach Lisa Willis returns to give us the literal "scripts" for what to do when your kid fails, falls, or feels like they aren't enough- in academics, sports, and life.
In Part 1, we identified the dangerous phrase to watch for that sabotages a child's resilience, so be sure to give that a listen if you missed it.
We’re going behind the scenes of Texas Sports Academy to show you exactly how to coach "Productive Struggle."
You’ll learn:
How to find the happy medium between coddling and coaching
How to keep kids in the "growth zone" of proximal development
What mentally strong families do differently
How to acknowledge the "suck" of a situation without letting your child stay stuck in it
How small celebrations can sweeten accomplishments
why "bouncing back" is actually a waste of a good failure

If you’re ready to help your kids or students build a mindset that lasts, this is the playbook you’ve been waiting for. Let’s get into it.
S2E309: This One Phrase is the Most Dangerous Threat to Your Kids' Resilience
25-02-2026 | 33 Min.
We are accidentally weakening our kids.
In our effort to protect them from "the sting" of failure, we are taking away the very armor they need to survive in the real world.
We say we want them to be resilient, but we’re terrified to let them fall.
Today, MacKenzie is joined by Lisa Willis.
Lisa is a former WNBA first-round pick, the first woman to coach for the New York Knicks, and now a Coach at Texas Sports Academy.
In this episode, Lisa and Mackenzie get into the grit of what it actually looks like to build a kid who doesn't crumble under pressure.

You’ll learn:
The one dangerous phrase that signals a child is moving from a "mistake" into a "downward spiral"
The "Bounce Back" Myth and what to replace it with
How to define failure and success in a healthy way
The "Recover, Quickly, Better" framework
Why pressure can be a healthy tool
The importance of helping kids understand the difference between their role and identity
Specific scripts for addressing your kid's failure

Your child is capable of handling hard things, but they need you to believe it first. It's time to stop protecting them from the struggle and start preparing them for the win.

Stay tuned for Part 2, coming later this week.
