And one thing I wanted to add on this discussion, because you're using the word intense,

and that's what the study talks about youth sports becoming too intense.

What I've seen over the years is there's more specialization.

And I went to that Instagram account, which I followed, Pure Athlete, and Greg Olson has a quote.

He goes, the second a coach tells you that your kid can't play multiple sports, you should be out.

But there is a lot of pressure, especially if your kid's good and plays on a travel team, whatever the sport it is, that they don't really want your kids playing other sports.

And we grew up.

Jason played college basketball, but he played baseball growing up.

Well, that's the coach is being selfish. They want you to specialize to stay great.

But to use your word in tense is there is that pressure kind of like that they prefer you to like special.

There's more specialization, a hundred percent more specialization.

That's where the burnout comes.

Sure. Right. So like, you know, my% more specialization. That's where the burnout comes. Sure. Right. So, like, you know, my kid's on a travel soccer team, but she also does RMSC, which is a year-round swim. So it's a lot, but she's also playing hoops. But a lot of coaches don't want you to be playing a lot of sports. Yeah, but her age is fine. Where it really starts to hit is when you get about 14, 15.

Yeah, but they will pressure you at 7, 8 years old.

Well, then you need to roll.

That's where it's crazy.

According to this survey, 72%.

That's a pretty high number say youth sports feel more professional than recreational,

with 80% of families considering their child's

sports club a second home. So some pretty high numbers there. I don't know. It's been awesome

for our family. We've loved it. We've loved every second of it. And my daughter has two more years

left of club volleyball, and I'm going to miss it immensely when it's gone. I miss lacrosse. I miss it. I miss it big time. I already missed. I told you I'm going to be back in coaching a flag football at some point even than my kid. I'm still coaching soccer, but just for the school. Yeah. All right. You want to pay some of these calls? Yeah, let's go to the phones. 800 636-1067 on an open line Thursday. Let's go to Paul in Gathersburg.
