Are We Ruining Youth Sports? Over-Scheduling, Burnout & Letting Kids Be Kids

Send us Fan MailAmanda and Leta tackle a topic close to home: the growing pressure on young kids to be perfect athletes and performers before they've even learned to love the game. From dance competitions costing families $45,000 a year to college scouts showing up at peewee football games, something has gone seriously wrong. This episode is a candid, funny, and passionate conversation about burnout, bad parenting incentives, and why fun should always come first — in dance, sports, and life.Follow Leta on Instagram: @letatapstylesLearn more about the nonprofit dance studio for autistic dancers Leta founded, Autistic Wings Dance Company: https://www.autisticwingsdancecompany.orgWant to be a guest on Leta's Tap Styles (And My Autistic Life)?
