How to Ensure That Your Children Are Given The Opportunity to Succeed at Sports

Win The Youth Sports Game objectively narrates how ordinarykids can progress, survive, and thrive within today’s ＄20 billion, youth-sports industrial complex. The sixteen-year developmental trek from toddler to collegiate athlete is chronicled while juxtaposing the real-life challenges that athletes in all sports must endure and overcome.

Win The Youth Sports Game is the first title ever to provide an honest reality-check for parents--a What to Expect When You are Expecting for youth sports. Fifty incredibly common, adult-imposed obstacles are exposed so that parents can help their athletes navigate and overcome these challenges along their own sports journeys. Fifty million parents may be hopeful their young athletes are on track to play college sports and win a scholarship, but only about 2 percent of elite high school athletes receive even a partial sports scholarship.

Share this book’s table of contents with any sports parent, and they’ll immediately identify with some of the seemingly outrageous storylines. The unfortunate outcome is that more than 75 percent of kids quit sports by age fourteen, with over-zealous adults being a big contributor.

The author will donate half of any profits to Project Play’s youth-sports advocacy programs.
