204. How Money & Mania are Ruining Kids' Sports with Linda Flanagan
21 Sep 2022
On today's episode, I sat down with Linda Flanagan who is the author of the new book "Take Back the Game - How Money and Mania are Ruining Kids' Sports". This conversation may be one of the most important conversations that we've ever had on the podcast as youth sports has taken a dramatic downward turn over the last few decades. In this conversation we discuss: How competitive youth sports affect family dynamics The role money plays in perpetuating the problem How parents are being manipulated by sports corporations The importance of letting your kids lead and play without supervision Why parents need to get their own life instead of being so heavily invested in their kids' sports and so much more!
