Max and Matt tackle the wild world of youth sports in America, where rec leagues are disappearing, travel teams dominate, and parents feel trapped in an expensive cycle of tournaments, uniforms, and endless weekends on the road. Max shares his experience founding City League, a local nonprofit bringing back competitive, affordable, community-driven sports for kids. They unpack how the “club track” pressures families into year-round specialization as young as eight, why that’s burning kids out, and what’s really lost when fun disappears from the game. From $600 uniforms to 10-hour car rides, to why multi-sport athletes are actually more likely to succeed, this episode is part rant, part blueprint for a better way forward.
