How can sports parents create well-rounded kids in youth sports, which can be hyper-specialized and intense?
David Murray's book, Soccer Dad, is the story of a "soccer-ignorant, sports-ambivalent writer who saw his daughter from the kiddie leagues through the travel-sports gauntlet to a coveted Division I scholarship. And then realized his work had only begun," says his book's Amazon description.
In this interview, he discusses the challenges of helping kids find a balanced life when they're immersed in the youth sports world.
He suggests:
--Introduce larger heroes (Muhammad Ali, Billie Jean King)
--Anchor the sport in values (teamwork, sisterhood, purpose)
--Seek meaning beyond scholarships
About the guest:
David Murray's daughter, Scout, "loved soccer from toddlerhood. Her drive and skill pulled the Murray family into the world of youth sports―one as culturally obsessive as it is economically exclusive, where each new achievement presents more challenges." Learn more on Amazon.
