It's football season in the River Region and that means Friday Night Lights and early Saturday mornings playing Y football followed by cheering on your favorite college team.  Sports and coaches can have a great impact on our children helping to build their character, so we decided to sit down with Hall of Fame and former Trinity Presbyterian Football Coach Randy Ragsdale to get his insights on the positive influence of youth sports.

In this episode we discuss:

• The benefits of playing sports
• Handling adversity
• The value of playing multiple sports
• How to talk with a coach when your child isn't getting playing time
• Is football a safe sport for your child
