In episode 2 of “The 2 Ricks: Unfiltered”, the topic is parenting in youth sports.

The growing business of kids’ sports is a $15.3 billion industry that has nearly doubled in the last 10 years. Nearly 20% of U.S. families spend more than $12,000 a year, or $1,000 per month, on youth sports, per child.

We’ll discuss names like Tiger Woods, Ichiro Suzuki, Manny Pacquiao, Dennis Rodman, Todd Marinovich and Lavar Ball. Sub-topics include parents and college scholarships, using your sport as a safety net and a concept known as delayed adolescence.
