Ep. 126 | Before You Go All-in On Sports...

Youth sports has become its own parallel universe. What questions should you ask yourself before your child decides to go all-in?

Show Notes:

In this episode, I walk through the considerations you should make before going all-in on a sport. Specializing in a sport with the intention of playing in college can be a high-risk, high-reward bet. Make sure you're aware of the pitfalls and create a strategic plan.
