In this episode, I discuss the notion that young athletes have about being the #1 player in the nation or they're a 'Bust'. I discuss the stark reality, based on the numbers, just how difficult it is for a young athlete to go on to play sports in college, and how it's even more difficult to make it to the professional level in their sport. I'll have a Q & A with a 13 year old 8th grade football player name Cade about his opinion on this topic. I'll also get his thoughts on what other teens, including his friends and teammates, think about this issue and how they handle it. At the end, I'll give you a few 'takeaways' from this episode to help you, your athlete or your son or daughter when they're dealing with this issue.

Thanks for listening!
