Episode Details

We speak with the Founder of Changing The Game Project John O’Sullivan.  Their mission is to ensure that we return youth sports to our children, and put the ‘play’ back in ‘play ball.’  For every Tiger Woods and Andre Aggassi, there are thousands of others who are in it for the fun (until the adults take the fun out of it.)
