Chris is meticulous, passionate,scholarly, a parent, and importantly, a professor at Vassar with a PhD fromStanford. He is so thorough when it comes to youth sports. We drifted off topicfrom his book to the Scripps National Spelling Bee. For me, a youth sport.

People involved in that industry oftenclaim that young athletes are benefiting from recent changes to the system, butare current practices actually “good” for kids—or their families? Throughoutthe book, the authors draw from interviews they conducted with parents,players, and coaches, as well as their combined three decades of experiencewith youth sports. They document the challenges that parents face as theyoversee their children's extracurricular lives. The authors conclude that thedecisions adults make are often logical, given the emphasis our society placeson winning at all costs. More Than Just a Game provides parents with theinformation they need to navigate a profit-driven system that often overlooksthe needs of actual children. The book offers knowledge, support, and ameaningful way forward, as well as a way back—to letting our kids play, grow,and thrive.**WE ARE ALSO ON AUDIOAUDIO “Conversations with Calvin; WE the SpecIEs”ANCHOR https://lnkd.in/g4jcUPqSPOTIFY https://lnkd.in/ghuMFeCAPPLE PODCASTSBREAKER https://lnkd.in/g62StzJGOOGLE PODCASTS https://lnkd.in/gpd3XfMPOCKET CASTS https://pca.st/bmjmzaitRADIO PUBLIC https://lnkd.in/gxueFZw

That encompasses having watched Casablanca (1942) 157 times. And othermovies. Books. Documentaries. Interviews. Yet, I never encountered a storyquite like Bernd Haber's book, ‘Fritz Haber-The Complete Diary; 16 months in anAmerican POW Camp. Fritz Haber was Bernd's grandfather. In 1931 in Germany, hewas a devout communist and tried to warn about Hitler's new Germany. Nazisdidn't like communists. Eventually, Fritz was conscripted into the Germanmilitary, known as the Wehrmacht. And was captured near the end of the war andspent 16 months in an American POW camp, able to write a diary. Bernd saw thatdiary. He also immigrated to America from East Berlin just after reunification.Bernd is passionate, eloquent, and brilliant. This radiates in this interview.I'm mesmerized by this story and by Bernd. Obvious reasons. Bernd lives inPhoenix, obtained his Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering in Germany, andworks at Worldstrings Promotion, a music agency.

He grew up in the German Democratic Republic undera Communist ruling government. Bernd attended the Technische Universität inChemnitz, Saxony, Germany, and graduated with a Master's Degree in MechanicalEngineering, with a focus on Manufacturing Process Design and Computer-AidedManufacturing. Very early in his life, he began to show an interest in Germanhistory, music, and modern information technology. When the Berlin Wall,separating East and West Berlin, fell on November 9, 1989, his world radicallychanged - an event that allowed him to embark on a personal journey, eventuallyleading him to move to Phoenix, Arizona, where he lives today.Bernd's move to the United States connects him with Fritzwho served many months in an American POW camp in 1945-1946 after WWII ended.The - what could be called: The Häber Family Trilogy - link between him and hisgrandfather is Bernd's father Herbert Häber who had climbed up in the hierarchyof the East German Communist Party, the SED, and later became a member of thePolitburo in 1984, the political body composed of the highest officials of theparty, state, and security organs. In 1985, Herbert was expelled from thePolitburo due to a staged high-level plot against him. After Germanreunification in 1990, Herbert was indicted and prosecuted for being allegedlyresponsible, as a Politburo member, for some of the killings at the BerlinWall. He faced two related criminal trials at the District Court of Berlinbetween 1995 and 2004.Bernd is the author of several books, such as "LettersTo and From My Senators FLAKE and MCCAIN: How they might have failed to fulfilltheir constitutional obligation", "Tempest - 20th Anniversary",and "The Wondrous Story of Hugo and Matilda". Bernd co-led theSpanish Civil War history project together with Björn Krondorfer - Director,Martin-Springer Institute at the Northern Arizona University called"Stories from the Spanish Civil War" which includes Bernd's greatuncle (and brother-in-law of Fritz) and other International Brigades volunteersfrom the United States, the UK and Canada.
