In this episode of The Hard Truth, Jeremy Fouts gets real about the truth behind youth and select sports what it costs, what really matters, and what he wishes he’d done differently as a father and coach.

After watching his son play his final select baseball tournament, Jeremy reflects on the lessons he’s learned from over a decade of travel ball. He opens up about how easily parents can get caught in the cycle of chasing exposure, tournaments, and trophies while forgetting what truly builds an athlete: nutrition, strength, speed, and character. From the financial and emotional toll of select sports to the long-term impact on young athletes’ development, Jeremy lays out what he’d change if he could do it all over again.

He reveals the hard truth: You can’t buy development you can only build it.

But the good news? You have the power to raise strong, disciplined athletes who become even better humans.

From fueling and training to parenting and priorities, this episode is a masterclass for every family navigating the world of youth sports. It’s not about chasing the next ring it’s about building a foundation that lasts a lifetime.
