This week we break down helicopter parenting and it’s impact on children and young athletes. Russ shares his own experience growing up under the ever-watching eyes of his overprotective mom and how her helicopter parenting nearly cost him his starting job on the Chicago Bears.

The Route with Russell podcast is hosted by Super Bowl champion and retired NFL player Russell Davis Sr. This is a space where the community can come together for meaningful discussions. Whether you’re a young athlete deciphering the complexities of college recruitment, a parent seeking advice on supporting your child’s dreams, or a coach aiming to better mentor your team, we offer something for everyone. Embark on ”The Route” to collegiate success as we work to empower the next generation of athletes with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to thrive both on and off the field.
