When Your Dad Is Your Coach… THIS Matters Most | Daily Nonpareil Sports Editor Peter Burtnett

Wired Axcess Podcast/September 8, 2026

When your parent is also your coach, where does coaching end and being Mom or Dad begin?

Sports Editor and former prep athlete Peter Burtnett of The Daily Nonpareil joins DJ K DuB Omaha on Wired Axcess Podcast and shares what he remembers about having his dad as his baseball coach. It wasn't pressure. It wasn't worrying about disappointing Dad after every mistake. Peter remembers support. When things went well, Dad was there. When he made a mistake, Dad picked him back up. And when the game ended, he was still DAD. For every sports parent coaching their own child, Peter's story offers a powerful reminder: Your athlete may forget the score. They won't forget how you made them feel.
