The world needs more great coaches on all levels and our youth sport world today is an entirely different ball game than it was back in my day-- both for the kids and for the coaches. On today’s episode, Lori Sawyer asks my thoughts on today’s youth sport culture and how it compares to when I was a kid. Truth be told, it’s a different era now. The pressure to succeed is at an all-time high for kids, recruiting is a different ball game, clubs are a huge part of many sports now, combines are everywhere, and many parents are running bonkers trying to make little Mary or Johnny the next star athlete. Listen in to today’s podcast to get my take on it all from a parent, coach, and trainer’s perspective...and see what I have to say about helping a kid out to be successful.
