David Murray

David Murray is an acclaimed journalist, author, and sports parent who chronicled his family’s deep dive into competitive youth soccer in his upcoming memoir Soccer Dad (Disruption Books, April 2026). A self-described soccer-ignorant father, David watched his daughter Scout’s passion for the game pull the entire family into the intense world of travel soccer, college recruiting, and Division I athletics at Ohio University. Through funny, vulnerable storytelling, he explores the joys, frustrations, and life lessons of being a sports parent in today’s high-stakes environment. David has shared his insights on numerous podcasts and in publications like The Washington Post and Youth Inc., offering a refreshing perspective on unconditional support, avoiding “coach mode,” and finding balance in the chaotic beauty of youth sports. He lives with his family and continues to write about parenting, sports, and the human experience.ParentShift course 30% OFF with the code TRIBE.
