About Youth $ports
This podcast explores the changing landscape of Youth Sports (or Youth $ports, rather) in America and how it continues to shift away from its roots. What started out as a golden period in many children’s lives has become a cut throat industry, with various sides trying to find the advantage. As a former high level club soccer coach and collegiate athlete, Ally Tucker sits down for each episode in a 1 on 1 interview format with a variety of co-hosts from different realms of the youth sports world. Guests range from parents, to youth coaches, to referees/officials, to administrators, to college coaches, to business owners… and of course, to the athletes themselves (at some point, they still matter in this equation). Some topics will make you think critically. Some topics will make you cry. Other topics will infuriate you and leave you asking, “What are we really doing here?” Youth sports provide a lane for growth, life lessons, incredible memories and lifelong friendships. But at what cost?

[…] Some kids, we are 100% on board with dual-sport athletes. That's fantastic. If you don't play football in the fall, baseball in the spring, soccer, wrestling, whatever, great. We encourage that from people. Our son just wasn't one of those kids. He just wanted to play baseball year round. And the team that he was playing for around his 15, 14 or 15 new year, they decided about half the team decided they wanted to play football in the fall instead of baseball. Great. Love that for them. My son didn't want to. He just wanted to keep playing baseball. And we were left in a position I think a lot of parents get put in, whether by choice or just by happenstance, where for an entire season you're left without a team to play for. […]
