By age 13, nearly 70% of kids have dropped out of organised sport — and by 15, almost half of all girls have quit too. Why is this happening?

In this episode, Kelly digs deep into the real reasons kids walk away from sport: burnout, anxiety, the friendship trap, the pull of gaming and screens, poor sideline culture, and even the impact of body changes during growth and puberty. She also explores how neurodiverse kids face unique barriers that can leave them excluded if the right support isn’t there.

This is a raw, honest look at the challenges families and coaches face — and why so many kids say, “I’m done.”
