| 2/13/26 |  We’re Blaming the Kid Instead of Fixing the Problem | In this episode of the Thinklete Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Ross Greene, author of The Explosive Child and Lost at School, to challenge everything we’ve been taught about discipline, behavior, and defiance.Dr. Greene’s core belief is simple—and disruptive: kids do well if they can. When they don’t, the issue isn’t motivation or attitude—it’s unmet skills and unsolved problems.This conversation covers:Why behavior is a signal, not the problemWhy punishment and rewards fail to build skillsHow environment shapes regulation and resilienceThe power of collaborative problem solving over controlWhat parents and coaches can do when kids keep strugglingThis episode is for parents, coaches, and educators who feel stuck in power struggles—and are ready for a better way to help kids grow without lowering expectations.🎧 Listen, rethink discipline, and start solving the right problems.Follow Dr. Ross Greene:Website: https://livesinthebalance.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livesinthebalance/Website: https://cpsconnection.com/Documentary: https://www.thekidswelose.com/ | — | ||||||
| 2/11/26 |  More Than Medals: The Real Purpose of Jiu-Jitsu for Kids | In this episode of the Thinklete Podcast, I sit down with Coach Werther Marciales, founder of Fellowship Jiu-Jitsu in Sarasota, Florida, for a deep, honest conversation about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, neurodivergent athletes, and real-world development beyond wins and medals.Coach Werther shares his personal journey—from struggling with ADHD as a kid, losing his first 19 wrestling matches, and finding confidence through combat sports—to becoming a coach who prioritizes character, resilience, and emotional growth as much as physical skill.Together, they explore:Why Jiu-Jitsu is uniquely powerful for neurodivergent and neurotypical kidsHow holding all athletes to the same standard builds confidence and fairnessTeaching kids to handle failure, frustration, and emotional regulationThe role of respect, discipline, and environment in long-term successWhy culture matters more than trophies, facilities, or priceHow combat sports help kids develop social skills, confidence, and mental toughness that transfer to school, relationships, and lifeThis episode is a must-watch for:✔ Parents of neurodivergent athletes (ADHD, ASD, sensory challenges)✔ Coaches looking to build strong, fair, development-first programs✔ Anyone who believes youth sports should prepare kids for life, not just competitionIf you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a better alternative to traditional team sports—or what kind of environment truly helps kids thrive—this conversation delivers real answers.👉 Subscribe for more conversations on youth sports, mental performance, and athlete development👉 Comment below if Jiu-Jitsu or martial arts has impacted your child’s confidence or growth⬇️Follow Werther below: Fellowship Jiu-Jitsu: https://fellowshipjiujitsu.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fellowshipjiujitsusarasota/?hl=en | — | ||||||
| 2/6/26 |  Building Strength Beyond the Gym with Eric Chessen | In this powerful episode of Thinklete, Derek Shunk sits down with Eric Chessen, founder of Autism Fitness, to explore how fitness can become a lifelong skill for neurodivergent athletes—not just a short-term activity.Eric shares his personal journey from a non-elite sports background to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu brown belt, strength coach, and behavior science specialist. Along the way, he explains how his dual background in psychology and strength training led him to develop a groundbreaking, evidence-based approach to fitness for autistic and neurodivergent individuals—one that prioritizes autonomy, trust, structure, and meaningful progress over force or rigid expectations.This conversation dives deep into:Why fitness must be done with athletes, not to themHow choice, structure, and behavior-specific praise drive motivation and perseveranceThe difference between pain vs. discomfort—and why it matters in coachingHow parents and coaches can support neurodivergent athletes without lowering standardsWhy repetition, routine, and accountability can be a hidden advantageHow strength training supports independence, confidence, and quality of life across the lifespanWhether you’re a parent, coach, educator, or athlete yourself, this episode challenges the way we think about performance, accountability, and success—especially for those who don’t fit the traditional mold.If you believe mental skills, movement, and environment shape who athletes become long after sports end, this is a must-listen.🎧 Tune in to hear why fitness isn’t just exercise—it’s a life skill.Check out Eric's website: https://www.autismfitness.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theautismfitness/?hl=en | — | ||||||
| 1/31/26 |  The Starting Line — Rethinking The Athlete | In this introductory episode, host Derek Shunk, a former professional baseball player, Division I baseball coach, and Villanova Hall of Fame inductee, shares the story behind Thinklete and the journey that shaped its philosophy. Now a parent navigating life with a neurodivergent child, Derek reflects on the challenges, missteps, and small adjustments that led to meaningful change.This episode sets the stage for the conversations to come, exploring how mindset, emotion, environment, and sport intersect — and why progress often comes through small wins, not big breakthroughs.You’ll hear how finding the right environments, rethinking expectations, and staying adaptable can unlock confidence, connection, and growth — both on and off the field.Future episodes will feature therapists, coaches, athletes, and authors who challenge conventional thinking and share practical perspectives to help parents, coaches, and athletes move forward with more clarity and confidence.Take what helps. Leave what doesn’t.Welcome to Thinklete. | — | ||||||
