Episode Summary

Episode Summary

In this first Skull Sessions episode, Nate and Andy sit down with coach, entrepreneur, and father of five, Sean Stringham. They unpack three major chapters of Sean’s journey: building Olympus Aquatics into a state and nationally competitive swim and water polo program in Utah, leaving a secure COO role to launch Game On Live Studio during COVID, and raising five high-performing kids. Along the way, Sean shares how grit, “naive optimism,” self-talk, and psychological safety shape athletes, teams, and parents. The conversation dives into high-performance parenting, creating strong team culture, learning from failure, and giving underserved sports the spotlight they deserve.
