    In this episode we unpack why teens join, why they quit, and how to keep sports joyful while still building grit, trust, and leadership. Adult expert Scott Jarvis shares how great coaches center people over trophies and how families can reduce burnout and widen access.
    Let's talk about:
    • participation trends, injury risks, and dropout data
    • cheer as a case study in trust and fear
    • athlete to athletic trainer pathway and health literacy
    • burnout versus healthy culture and fun
    • transferable skills for school, college, and careers
    • inclusive options beyond varsity and elite teams
    • honest roles, specific feedback, and belonging
    • equity barriers like transport and jobs with flexible fixes
    • parents letting go while kids learn to fail safely

I really enjoyed this podcast. Jenny Debevac is a high school counselor and a parent, so her experience with adolescents is both broad and deep. What makes an adolescent successful? What is success anyway, and why do we define it differently for adults and teenagers? The podcast is full of interviews with teachers and students, making for a lively and thoughtful discussion of the issues that face teens and their parents.

Insightful and fun!
