Episode 6 - What’s Next & What Came Before

Episode 9 - Play the Next Play

After a two-month hiatus, He Said, Son Said is back with one of our favorite conversations yet. This week, we sit down with 8th-grade multi-sport athlete Brayleigh and her dad, Christiaan, to talk about sports, faith, leadership, pressure, and the lessons that shape young athletes both on and off the field. Brayleigh shares her journey from basketball manager to team captain, how she balances basketball, soccer, volleyball, and swimming, and why faith has become such an important part of her athletic journey. She opens up about dealing with nerves, overcoming mistakes, leading teammates, and the pressure that comes with wanting to perform at a high level. One lesson stands out throughout the episode: "You can't change this play, but you can change the next play." That simple piece of advice becomes the foundation for a conversation about resilience, growth, confidence, and learning how to move forward when things don't go your way. Christiaan shares what it's like watching his daughter evolve into a leader, why character matters more than trophies, and how parents can support their kids without trying to live through their athletic accomplishments. Whether you're a parent, coach, athlete, or sports fan, this episode offers valuable insights on leadership, faith, teamwork, and the lifelong lessons sports can teach us.

Using Quitter’s Day as the theme, we kick off with Two Takes, Five Picks, breaking down some of the most unforgettable ways athletes have quit their teams.
