Episode Details

If you’ve ever watched your child lose joy in a sport they once loved, this episode will hit close to home.

Christy-Faith and guest Jonathan Carone discuss how youth sports has slowly shifted from play to pressure. What used to be backyard games and simple fun has turned into rankings, money, identity, and adult expectations kids were never meant to carry.

This episode is not about blaming parents or coaches. It's not anti-sports either (We love sports and competition!).  It is about pausing long enough to ask what our kids actually need, and what really lasts after the last game is played.
