In this powerful and emotional episode, Dr. John Oda reveals the hidden cost of performance pressure in youth sports.

You’ll hear the story of Marcus — a gifted 15-year-old basketball player — and his father, David, whose love for winning nearly cost them their bond. Through this heartfelt case study, Dr. Oda unpacks the psychology behind pressure, how it rewires a child’s nervous system, and how parents can transform “performance parenting” into “presence parenting.”

Using insights from The ODA Inner Command Method for Families, Dr. Oda shows how to replace fear with faith, critique with connection, and pressure with presence.

Because when a child feels unconditionally loved — they perform from peace, not for approval.

This episode is a must-listen for any parent, coach, or mentor who wants to raise confident, emotionally intelligent young athletes who play with passion, joy, and purpose — on and off the court.

🎧 “You don’t raise champions by pushing harder. You raise them by loving deeper.” – Dr. John Oda

In this podcast, I share powerful examples from my own childhood—moments where family routines shaped me in ways that still drive my destiny today. Structure, consistency, and discipline didn’t just keep me on track; they gave me the foundation to grow into who I am now.

Because here’s the truth: when parents don’t establish routines or rules, teens are left with no sense of direction. That’s when confusion, poor choices, and unnecessary struggles creep in. Without structure, the family loses alignment.

I break down different ways parents can build routines that not only keep the household running smoothly but also shape their teens’ confidence, decision-making, and future success. Whether it’s morning rituals, evening check-ins, or consistent expectations, routines create clarity—and clarity builds leaders.

Transformation doesn’t happen by chance; it happens by choice. And family routines are one of the most powerful choices you can make as a parent.

Parents, listen closely.

Maybe your teen athlete has the talent—but not the focus, confidence, or discipline to rise higher.
Or maybe you’re watching your teen spiral with defiance, poor decisions, and conflict at home.
When your teen struggles, the entire family feels it. That’s why I created my 6-Month Teen Transformation Program.

Here’s how transformation happens, using the NLP Logical Levels:

1. Environment – Does their environment support growth?
2. Behavior – Do they show the habits that lead to success?
3. Skills – Do they have the tools and strategies to win?
4. Beliefs – Do they believe they can succeed?
5. Spirituality – Does this align with your family’s deeper values?

When these levels align, your teen transforms—and your family begins to heal.

Two tracks available:
✅ Teen Athlete Performance Coaching – Build mental toughness, discipline, and game-day confidence.
✅ Teen Behavioral Breakthrough Coaching – Resolve defiance, restore communication, and bring peace back home.

⚡ This weekend only: 50% OFF. Enrollment closes Monday at 5 PM PST. Limited to 10 spots.

Bullying in 2025 doesn’t just happen in the hallways—it follows our kids into their bedrooms, their phones, and their minds.

In this episode of *The Doctor’s Corner*, Dr. John Oda takes you inside the hidden scars of teen bullying today. From shocking real-world stories of teens attacked and filmed, to heartbreaking cases of body-shaming that left kids unable to walk, this episode reveals how deeply bullying cuts—and what parents can do about it.

You’ll hear powerful questions parents can ask their teens to open doors that silence has kept shut:
✨ ‘Has anyone said something online that made you uncomfortable?’
✨ ‘Do you ever feel like people laugh at you instead of with you?’
✨ ‘If today was a chapter in your story, would it be comedy, drama, or action—and why?’

These aren’t just questions; they’re conversation starters that create breakthroughs between parents and teens.

Dr. Oda also shares practical tools from his 38 years of experience—showing you how to replace fear with resilience, silence with trust, and pain with purpose.

If you’re ready to protect your teen, empower their voice, and build stronger family connections, this episode is your roadmap.

If you have negative parents, you will have negative kids—because children don’t just hear what you say, they model what you do. Your energy becomes their blueprint.

I have two powerful examples:

👉 Mike and his wife—constantly negative, always complaining. Their teens reflected the same energy, walking through life with the same attitude.

👉 Ralph and his wife—radiating kindness, positivity, and strength. Their teens grew up mirroring those values, living with joy and respect.

The speed of the leader truly is the speed of the pack. If you want your kids to rise higher, you must first lead by example that they can follow.

The Doctor’s Corner: Getting Teens To Talk. Every parent wants their teen to open up—
But most are asking the wrong questions.

In this episode of The Doctor’s Corner Podcast, I share how to use the NLP model to build real rapport with your children. It’s not about interrogation—it’s about connection.

Instead of asking “How was school?” (and getting one-word answers)…
Try asking:
✨ “Who’s your favorite teacher?”
✨ “Which teacher don’t you connect with?”
✨ “What was the most surprising thing you heard today?”

When you shift to open-ended questions, walls come down. Trust builds. And suddenly, your teen is talking more than you imagined.

Listen in, and discover how neuroscience + communication models can transform your parenting.

In this deeply personal episode of *The Doctor’s Corner*, I reveal the journey that shaped my life and mission. I was told I was ‘retarded’ and would never graduate from 8th grade. But I refused to let labels define me. Through faith, resilience, and relentless determination, I transformed from a struggling child into an International Best-Selling Author, Business Growth Strategist, and mentor to  100,000 teens and parents.

This episode is more than my story—it’s proof for every parent that your child’s current struggles don’t determine their destiny. With the right tools, guidance, and mindset, transformation is possible. And if I could do it, so can your teen.

🚨 NCAA Tournament: Duke vs Houston… the real winner? Leadership.
Yesterday I watched Duke vs. Houston.
It was a great game, but what decided the outcome?
Leadership.
In my bestselling book Unlimited Business Growth, I break down the 3 types of leadership:
1️⃣ Destructive
2️⃣ Neutral
3️⃣ Effective
Last night, Houston’s coach, Kelvin Sampson, showed Effective Leadership.
Why? Because he worked on himself — and his team mirrored his mindset:
1. Persistence
2. Dogfight mentality
3. Resilience
Duke’s coach, Jon Scheyer?
He played the Neutral Leadership card — not bad, not great.
But here’s the truth: Neutral leaders don’t build winning cultures.
They don’t grow teams. They play it safe.
When Coach K led Duke, he was an Effective Leader.
And it showed — every single player played with urgency and commitment.
In business, most leaders operate from neutral mode.
That’s why most companies flatline or fail.
So, let me ask you:
What kind of leader are YOU?
I’m giving away a free chapter of my book to help you find out.

Parents, school is out! What’s next for your pre-teen to young adult? As you transition into the summer months, consider focusing on their personal development. Are you looking to enhance their mindset, boost their confidence, or address any labels they’ve acquired along the way? Creating a game plan to close the gaps in your pre-teen or young adult’s behavior can be incredibly beneficial.

Many parents invest substantial amounts of money in sports and acting classes, yet often overlook personal development and confidence-building activities. It’s essential to balance extracurricular achievements with nurturing your child’s emotional and mental well-being. Sometimes, the focus is more on status and the prestige of their school, rather than on how your child is coping with situations at home, school, or work.

Consider who is influencing your child: is it the drug dealer, peer pressure, or social media? Take a proactive approach by investing in their personal growth, helping them develop resilience, and equipping them with the tools to navigate life’s challenges confidently. This summer, make their development a priority and create a supportive environment that fosters both their talents and their overall well-being.  My website www.drjohnoda.com
