This week we’re joined by Gary Thrapp, founder of Beyond The Baseline and author of The Wild World of Youth Sports. Gary pulls back the curtain on the current state of youth sports — the good, the bad, and the uncomfortable truths we don’t talk about enough. From parental pressure and over-competition to the long-term impact on kids, this conversation challenges us to rethink what youth sports should look like.

This episode isn’t just about baseball. It’s about protecting kids, supporting coaches, educating parents, and putting development and enjoyment back at the center of the game.

If you care about the future of youth sports, this is a conversation you need to hear — and share.
