Build Youth Sports for the 99%, Not the 1%

from The Sports We Build · host Morgan Schill & Nolan Recker

Youth sports keeps getting more competitive, more complicated, and more professionalized at younger ages. But are those changes actually helping most kids?In this episode, Morgan and Nolan talk about communication, adult behavior, age-appropriate rules, leadership, and why youth sports systems are too often designed around exceptional athletes instead of the majority of kids who simply need opportunities to play, learn, and stay involved.They also explore Next Level Sports, intramural programs, student-athlete coaches, and what communities can do to create more accessible sports experiences.The bigger question underneath it all: What is the actual goal of youth sports, and are the decisions we're making helping us get there?
