Failure, Free Play and the Future of Youth Sports
from The Sports We Build · host Morgan Schill & Nolan Recker
What happens when you build something you believe kids will love, people tell you they're interested, and then almost nobody signs up?This week, Nolan shares why the Every Inning League may not happen as planned, and Morgan and Nolan talk about failure, feedback, iteration, and knowing when to pivot. That leads to a bigger conversation about something youth sports may desperately need more of: kids playing without adults constantly coaching them.They also talk about building stronger local sports partnerships, the growth of women's sports, why women's volleyball might actually be the better spectator sport, youth sports oversight, flag football, and giving kids opportunities to discover sports their parents never played.It's an episode about building, learning, changing course, and remembering who we're building all of this for.
