Today’s guests are Ed Uszynski and Brian Smith, authors of the book Away Game: A Christian Parent’s Guide to Navigating Youth Sports.

The book equips parents with practical, Biblically based solutions for raising athletes in secular sports culture.


Topics:

  • How do sports develop character?
  • How do we stand out in youth sports culture?
  • How can we support our kids through their failures?
  • How do we view winning and being the greatest?
  • What can we learn from Uncle Rico?
