Year-Round Sports, Early Burnout: What Every Parent Should Know | HoopEd Founder Jonathan Scribner Ep. 145

The difference between youth sports today and what we grew up with?  In this episode, Coach Jonathan Scribner helps us unpack why youth sports has changed and how year-round training, early specialization, and over-scheduling are affecting our kids. We discuss the decline of pickup games, rising competition, and the risks of burnout and injury. Plus, Jonathan has great advice for parents — including what age is best to specialize and how to make sure your children are having fun even when they're competing. He also shares how his organization is addressing these issues, developing crucial skills, and helping kids enjoy sports again. Tune in to see how you can get your kids involved with their summer camp and school day off programs! Learn more about Coach Jon's partnership with the Whatever We Imagine Foundation, or donate to support student athletes, at https://www.whateverweimagine.org/. Connect with HoopEd:WebsiteInstagramFacebookYouTube Connect with Jamie at Truman Charities:FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsiteYouTubeEmail: [email protected] episode was post produced by Podcast Boutique https://podcastboutique.com/
