Derek X: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Youth Sports

Derek X is the longtime boxing expert on The CGP. But today, he returns to the program in his role as the father of a 13-year-old who is both elite in the classroom and on the basketball court. In the first of two parts, Derek discusses how he and his family came to realize for their son (Christian) to develop as a player, he would need more than just playing at his school. Enter: Youth Basketball. Traveling teams... being a part of the circuit, as it were. It's complicated, competitive and at times chaotic. Is it all worth it? Derek explains it all.  The Christopher Gabriel Program ----------------------------------------------------------- Please Like, Comment and Follow 'The Christopher Gabriel Program' on all platforms:  The Christopher Gabriel Program is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts. --- The Christopher Gabriel Program | Website | Facebook | X | Instagram | --- Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
