Episode 40: Dustin and Cindy Humphrey (Married with 4 children playing youth sports) Being a youth sports parent is practically a full-time job. For the first time in Youth $ports Podcast history, I bring on a married couple to dive into the realities of parenting, marriage, and family life within the fast-paced world of youth sports. 🔹 Inside the Humphrey Household – Dustin and Cindy Humphrey give us an honest look at how they navigate a household with four kids in sports—plus Cindy coaching! Spoiler alert: IT’S BUSY. And yes, it takes a village (grandparents included!). 🔹 Sports vs. Screens – We discuss the shift from our childhoods—when kids played outside until dark—to today’s world of iPads and constant digital distractions. Is keeping kids busy with sports better than the alternative? 🔹 The Organized Chaos of Scheduling – With practices, games, and even piano lessons in the mix, the Humphreys break down how they manage the madness, including the reality of concession stand dinners and backseat outfit changes. 🔹 The Right Level of Commitment – Dustin shares his philosophy: If a child shows talent and personal drive to improve, then it’s worth considering a higher level of competition. Too often, parents get this backward. 🔹 Balancing It All – The Humphreys open up about how youth sports impact their family dynamic and relationship. The key? Communication and intentional planning—though even then, it’s not easy. And... of course... HOT TAKES
