In Part 1 of The Return on Investment Myth — Rethinking Youth Sports, Dr. Travis Dorsch joins Chat By The Pitch to explore what families are truly getting from youth sports. As a professor at Utah State University and founding director of the Families in Sport Lab, Dr. Dorsch shares how his research — and his own parenting journey — reveal the tension between performance, pressure, and purpose.

We unpack why so many parents chase the wrong outcomes, how goal misalignment drives kids out of the game, and what it really means to “invest” in your child’s sport journey. From NIL deals to the cost of club soccer, Travis challenges families to define success differently — not in scholarships or stats, but in the lessons that last a lifetime.

💬 Key Talking Points

• Why parents should expect a return on investment — but not the kind they think

• The dangers of chasing scholarships and pro dreams too early

• Goal alignment: how parents, coaches, and players get out of sync

• What keeps kids in the game past age 13

• The problem with commodifying young athletes

• Systems thinking: placing the child at the center of the sport ecosystem

• Communication tips for the car ride home

• What questions parents should ask after every game

• Modeling behavior and emotional control on the sidelines

• How family dynamics shape athlete development

• “Snowplow” vs. “scaffolding” parents

• Defining success beyond wins and goals

• Building lifelong movers instead of short-term stars

🗣 Quotes from Dr. Travis Dorsch

• “Parents should expect some form of return on their investment — but the real question is how we define that return.”

• “When parents define success as scholarships or contracts, the pressure skyrockets for everyone.”

• “Goal alignment is everything. If parents and kids aren’t chasing the same thing, conflict is inevitable.”

• “The child needs to remain at the center. When parents or coaches make it about themselves, that’s when problems start.”

• “If we can just get kids to come back next season, we’re winning.”

• “You can’t name Christian Pulisic’s U12 record — because it doesn’t matter. What mattered is that he kept playing.”

• “Parents are role models first. Kids don’t just hear us — they watch how we act.”

• “Ask better questions on the ride home. Not ‘Did you win?’ but ‘What was the most exciting thing you did today?’”

• “Work hard, listen to the coach, and have fun — that’s our family mantra.”

• “Youth sport is a vehicle to raise better humans, not just better athletes.”

In this episode, Tom Boyce, co-owner of Crossbar and London Calling TX, shares how these two soccer spaces are redefining culture in North Texas.

From weekday pickup and late-night leagues to homeschool sessions and family-friendly weekends, Crossbar has created a space where adults can play, relax, and connect while their kids grow up around the game.

Tom and Ian dive into:

• How the adult-first, kid-friendly model changes the soccer experience.

• The “winner-stays-on” pickup system that keeps games competitive and fun.

• Why Denton’s cash-rollover challenge became a local legend.

• The crossover between Crossbar and London Calling in growing community culture.

• How partnerships with leagues, gyms, and coaches expand opportunity across DFW.

This episode is a reminder that soccer isn’t just a sport — it’s a community heartbeat.

⚽ Key Talking Points

• Crossbar’s mission: create adult-first soccer community centers where parents can play too.

• Locations: Dallas (formerly Richardson) and Denton, both with full-service bars and turf.

• League nights: Open, Co-Ed, and Over-30 divisions.

• Pickup culture: 5v5, first to two goals, winner stays — no cleats allowed.

• GoodRec and FieldSpace apps for sign-ups and scheduling.

• The cash-rollover pickup pot that’s become part of Denton soccer lore.

• Daytime blocks for homeschoolers, youth training, and open play.

• Community partnerships with gyms, coaches, and local soccer groups.

• Expansion plans: new outdoor turf and long-term franchise potential.

• “Happy parents = better players.” The ripple effect of Crossbar’s culture.

💬 Quotes from Tom Boyce

“We’re adult-first, but kids are always welcome. It’s a soccer community center.”

“If parents are comfortable, coaches can coach and kids can just play.”

“Pickup should be fun — 5v5, winner stays, no pressure, no cleats.”

“That cash pot in Denton? It started small, now it’s legendary.”

“We’re not here to nickel-and-dime. We’re here to belong.”

“Think the Cheers bar — but for soccer.”

Reeplayer: Greater access to footage gives every young athlete

In Part 2 of our powerful conversation with Dr. Hillary Cauthen — licensed clinical sport psychologist, author, and President-Elect of the Association for Applied Sport Psychology — we dive deeper into the culture of youth sports, the pressures athletes face, and the role coaches and parents play in creating safe, healthy environments. From the hidden costs of monetized youth sports, to the importance of leadership, to the fine line between resilience and burnout, Dr. Cauthen shares hard truths and practical strategies for building a culture of care in athletics. Whether you’re a coach, parent, or athlete, this episode will leave you rethinking how we measure success on and off the field.

🔑 Key Talking Points

How parents can evaluate clubs and coaches for athlete safety and development.

The importance of SafeSport training, background checks, and coach education.

Why 70% of athletes quit sports by 13 — and how to fight the dropout crisis.

Toxic cultures, sideline fights, and referee shortages: the dark side of youth sports.

The impact of monetization and NIL trickling down to youth levels.

Simone Biles, Michael Phelps, Kevin Love, and Naomi Osaka — lessons from elite athletes on mental health.

The dangers of “mental health days” becoming a crutch vs. being used for recovery.

How parents can celebrate small wins and build resilience at home.

The power of player-driven culture and empowering athletes as leaders.

Dr. Cauthen’s vision for trauma-informed practices in youth sports and her upcoming mastermind projects.

Quotes

“Culture builds development — and development builds everything else.”

“Seventy percent of kids drop out of sports by 13. That’s not just a stat, that’s a crisis.”

“We wouldn’t accept certain behaviors in a classroom — why do we allow them on the sidelines?”

“It’s never okay to not be okay. If you’re not okay, we need to intervene.”

“Simone Biles didn’t quit — she protected her health and came back stronger.”

“Every athlete wants to be seen as more than the number on their back.”

“The monetization of youth sports is changing culture, and not always for the better.”

“As parents, our job isn’t to remove failure. It’s to teach our kids how to respond to it.”

“Leadership isn’t about captains — it’s about every player taking ownership.”

“Sport should be about fighting with care and empathy, not just competition.”

In this episode of Chat By The Pitch, we sit down with Dr. Hilary Cauthen — clinical sports psychologist, certified mental performance consultant, and author of Hello Trauma, Our Invisible Teammate. Dr. Cauthen opens up about her journey as a competitive runner, her TEDx talk on the toxic culture of sport, and how trauma shows up in ways athletes, coaches, and parents often overlook.

We dive into the invisible pressures athletes face — from injuries to fear of evaluation, from peer criticism to the weight of coach expectations. Dr. Cauthen shares how coaches can be emotional role models, why free play matters, and how clubs need to normalize mental performance coaching as a proactive tool instead of a last resort.

If you’re a parent, coach, or player, this conversation will change how you view resilience, identity, and wellbeing in sports.

Key Talking Points

• Why trauma is the “invisible teammate” athletes carry

• Lessons from Dr. Cauthen’s running career and early challenges

• How coaches shape athletes as emotional role models, not just tacticians

• Fear of evaluation and fear of failure: the biggest barriers young athletes face

• Free play as a tool for risk-taking, growth, and creativity

• Parents’ role in supporting players post-game (car ride conversations that build confidence)

• Why professional clubs and youth programs must invest in mental performance coaching

Quotes from Dr. Hilary Cauthen

• “Trauma is your teammate now. It can be your best teammate that helps you thrive or a detrimental one that keeps you on the bench.”

• “Mental health is not mental illness. We all have mental health; it’s about how we manage our thoughts and feelings.”

• “Connection is essential. Coaches need to be present, make eye contact, and assess how athletes show up to practice.”

• “Free play allows athletes to make mistakes, take risks, and grow without fear of punishment.”

• “The two biggest fears athletes carry are fear of evaluation and fear of failure.”

• “Coaches are emotional role models. Their feedback can shape an athlete more than a parent’s words.”
