Hello, hello, welcome, Gabbul here.

We're back with another conversation from our revisionist history live series on Mastery.

This took place at the 92nd Street Y in New York.

As many of you know, I'm a pretty serious runner.

And like most competitive runners, I was most running crazy when I was a kid.

I started at 13, ran through high school and a little in college.

It was the single most fun thing I did growing up.

Sports were my refuge from the craziness of adolescence.

But one of the things that has become clear in recent years is that youth sports

are no longer the oasis they used to be.

That something very troubling is happening.

Higher pressure, abusive coaches, over-involved parents.

And it's worse for girls, eating disorders, distorted body images.

So I asked two people to come and talk about all this with me.

And figure out some answers.

Lauren Fleshman and Linda Flanagan.

Both athletes, coaches and parents who've thought a lot about this problem.

And by the way, who happened to have the same initials.

So just to be clear, this is Linda.

That's strangely when many parents don't step in.

They raise hell when their child is putting right field.
