What happens when pushing your child to succeed starts affecting your relationship with them?

Craig Young shares a difficult moment in raising his son, Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young, when he learned that Bryce no longer wanted him coaching him - or even wanted to be around him.

Long before Bryce became a Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Alabama, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and quarterback for the Carolina Panthers, Craig was navigating the challenges of being both a father and a coach.

As a mental health professional and author of Growing Up Young: One Family’s Faith Journey to the NFL, Craig reflects on how painful that moment was and why protecting his relationship with his son mattered more than anything he could accomplish on the football field.

It’s a conversation about parenting, youth sports, expectations, and remembering that our children need us to be their parents first.

Full episode with Craig Young out now. Check out our full episode of Mathis Family Talks.
