Youth Sports Meets Behavioral Finance: A Deep Dive with Dr. Bryan Foltice
In this episode of the Bryan Foltice Behavioral Finance Podcast, Dr. Foltice discusses the intersection of youth sports and behavioral finance in the United States. He explores the shift from community-based sports to private, for-profit sports organizations that emerged around 2008 due to budget cuts during the Great Recession.
Dr. Foltice \shares personal anecdotes and research findings on how this shift has led to financial strain and negative consequences for families, including overextended parents and kids missing out on valuable family time. The episode delves into the societal pressures and social norms around youth sports, the financial exploitation by private sports organizations, and the lack of balance between sports activities and family life.
Bryan calls for a reevaluation of the current system, advocating for a return to more community-based activities and a balanced approach to children's involvement in sports.
