The Balanced Athlete Car Convos; About Purpose, Balance and Play! episodes

  • Why are Cub Sports the Only Option?

    In this episode Jessie talks about how youth and teen sports have a gap between offering beginner level sports and the extreme of club sports. There is a place for all but what if your youth or teen just wants to compete and enjoy the sport without the “manufactured exclusivity” as friend and previous episode podcast guest Paul Gamble calls it.

    Check out Paul’s Substack on the subject.

    Book overview
    This candid day-in-the-life style book will keep you laughing along your volleyball journey and remind you of these precious moments when our children learned more than the game of volleyball at this impressionable age. If you and your young athlete are new to the world of youth volleyball, or if you played long ago and now have a kiddo wanting to play, you will soon find out that it is no longer an “everyone makes the cut” kind of sport! It is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S., especially for girls, and one intense moment after another. It should be cathartic to know that the people who inspired this memoir understand the highs and lows and budget-busting moments you are experiencing. One of the best things you have done on this journey is give your kiddo a volleyball and the second-best thing you can do regarding this new volleyball life, is to purchase this volleyball mom’s journal as a companion to guide you along the way. May it help you navigate through this wild world of youth volleyball! Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
