2026 Youth $ports Ins & Outs

This podcast explores the changing landscape of Youth Sports (or Youth $ports, rather) in America and how it continues to shift away from its roots. What started out as a golden period in many children’s lives has become a cut throat industry, with various sides trying to find the advantage. As a former high level club soccer coach and collegiate athlete, Ally Tucker sits down for each episode in a 1 on 1 interview format with a variety of co-hosts from different realms of the youth sports world. Guests range from parents, to youth coaches, to referees/officials, to administrators, to college coaches, to business owners… and of course, to the athletes themselves (at some point, they still matter in this equation). Some topics will make you think critically. Some topics will make you cry. Other topics will infuriate you and leave you asking, “What are we really doing here?” Youth sports provide a lane for growth, life lessons, incredible memories and lifelong friendships. But at what cost?
