12 - Too Late at 8?

from The Sports Parenting Podcast

"If you didn't start last year, you're too late." "If you haven't zeroed in on your kid's future by age eight, you're already behind." The Joneses seem to be operating at a whole different level when it comes to youth sports. If you haven't caught the sarcasm, it's there. While I don't demonize early specialization, I don't recommend or encourage it for the masses either. In this episode, I lay out a practical framework to help you decide what's best for your child and your family when it comes to specializing in sports.
