Suffice it to say, there is a lot of money floating around sports nowadays. Eye-popping contracts for star players. Opportunities for college students to earn money by doing their best in the field. Money-making opportunities from social media platforms. However, to earn these dollars, an athlete must be fostered and nurtured at a young age. The strive to be the next big thing in sports could cause parents to head down the wrong coaching path with their kids. It could also cause kids to look for shortcuts in their training. Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi talks on the Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast with sportscaster and former NFL tight end Greg Olsen. Olsen shares the personal story behind his launch of Youth Inc. The digital platform provides resources to parents and youth athletes on everything from nutrition to handling the game's stress.
