Summary
What if the most important part of a young athlete’s experience is the car ride home?
Today, I’m excited to share a special conversation I had with football legend Greg Olsen on his podcast, Youth Inc.
For those who aren’t familiar, Greg is a football broadcaster for FOX Sports and 3x pro-bowler tight-end who played in the NFL for 14 seasons.
Now – alongside his career as a broadcaster – Greg launched a media company called Youth, Inc., which has a flagship podcast by the same name that focuses on the changing world of youth sports. And in that space Greg is someone to pay attention to.
This was a fantastic conversation all about fostering environments for kids to thrive – and I’m super excited to share it with you here.
