204. How Money & Mania are Ruining Kids' Sports with Linda Flanagan
Manage episode 341797757 series 3307832
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!
