(#278) In this week's session, I'm going to discuss a topic that is near and dear to me. Youth Sports. As a parent, coach, and sports spectator myself - there are clearly issues that need to be discussed. This session is for parents and coaches to better understand a few of the big problems associated with youth sports today. I'll discuss some problems that I have observed through the years. This is certainly a massive topic and we could easily make this a series of podcast episodes, so we'll just consider this a starting point for discussion. What's the #1 problem in youth sports? I'll discuss that and so much more this week. I don't believe in discussing problems unless you have some answers, so I'll even offer simple solutions for each point I cover in the show. There's a lot of content in the episode and I know you'll find this session valuable and useful, but I'd love to get your feedback on this. Let me know your thoughts or experiences by posting your comments below. This session is designed to inspire action and taking the next step, whatever that "next step" is for you.
