my kids have a lot of odds stacked against them, believe it or not.

I mean, they are, a lot of them are black.

They also, um, they have broken homes, unfortunately created by myself.

And you know, if they have academic struggles or they have friends that are not doing the sports and kind of getting into trouble, it's like they have the, all those odds stacked against them too.

And so I always wonder, am I doing, signing them up for too much or am I signing them up for not enough?

Like what, what do you think growing up as a student athlete in a two parent home, um,

and now doing sort of the same for your kids.

What is too much?

Where is the line?

I re I have seen a bunch of podcasts of men specifically talking about sports and their own kids.

And it's important to do this.

And then, you know, somebody else will say it's Noel, you shouldn't do that.

You should do this.

It's like,

I want my kids to try every sport, but once they find something that they love and that they're good at, I kind of want to not necessarily put all my eggs in one basket, but I kind of want to like take their lead on whatever they're good at.

How do you help youth athletes decide?

Do you think they should try everything they want to try?

But what if it's like, what if you came home to him and was like, I want to play lacrosse?

And you're like, I don't know anything about lacrosse.

What if he came home and was like, I want to play tennis?
