from Hearsay From the Sidelines · host Culture in Sports

To better understand how and why sports are a part of education, this episode goes back to where they started. Although the culture of youth sports has certainly evolved, the purpose of interscholastic athletics really has not.

But the structures governing competition have always limited who can participate and how they are recognized. Many thanks to all the guests who contributed their thoughts.
