Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Heaven or Heisman! In this episode, we’re diving into some scary stats about youth sports and the pressure on kids and parents alike. With over 40 million kids playing youth sports in America, it’s staggering that 70% will drop out before the age of 13, often due to the overwhelming emphasis on winning over fun. As parents, we’re seeing it more and more—pressure to succeed can make sports feel like a high-stakes game, stripping away the joy and leaving kids frustrated.We’re here to talk through these stats and what they really mean for your family. From the financial burdens of club sports to the rare chances of making it to the professional level, we’re exploring how to navigate the pressures and focus on what truly matters—raising kids who enjoy sports, grow in character, and keep their faith front and center. Join us as we share personal stories, stats that might surprise you, and practical tips on how to keep the journey fun and fulfilling for your kids—no matter where they end up. Let’s dig in!
