Summary

Being a sports parent today feels like navigating the Wild West—early morning practices, weekend tournaments, college pressure, burnout, and the constant fear of doing it wrong. In this episode, we sit down with Emmy-winning sports journalist and founder of ILoveToWatchYouPlay.com, Asia Mape, to talk about what it really takes to raise a D1 athlete—or not. From how early is too early to specialize, to the signs of burnout, the politics of “daddy ball,” and why joy, balance, and mental health matter more than any scholarship, Asia gives us the honest, expert advice every sports parent needs to hear.
