Sports kids should push past challenges by focusing on incremental steps rather than the bigger end goal, said Dianette Wells, a world-class mountaineer, ultra-endurance athlete and author. For example, to prepare for a hike in Malibu, Calif., she focused on improving her time by a minute each time she hiked.  “I just did it in incremental amounts so my mind could accept that and my body could deal with that. You don't necessarily have to look at the goal line, but just the little steps along the way that you can do to improve yourself,” she said.

Always plural.)Lifestyle expenses (snacks, meals, coach gifts, and “team bonding” events that cost real money)Development extras (private lessons, apps, camps, and the “just in case they're great” category)We also cover several practical tips like the importance of setting a seasonal sports budget that your kid can help manage, why used gear is your best friend and where to find it, and the right time to say no and how to skip guilt with it. Whether you're trying to be the "fun" parent, the budget-conscious one, or just trying not to lose your mind, this one's for anyone raising kids in sports. Links: Project Play survey: Family spending on youth sports rises 46% over five yearsEpisode 183 - Why NIL is a game changer for young athletes Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

What's the current state of club basketball in 2025? In this solo episode of The Gametime Guru, I will dive into the real pros and cons of the modern youth sports scene, particularly club basketball. Key Questions Answered: Is club basketball worth the cost in 2025? How do club teams help (or hurt) college basketball opportunities? Why are parents spending $10,000+ per season? Are youth tournaments becoming a money grab? What role do referees and tournament directors play in the athlete experience? Topics Covered: The evolution of club basketball from 2006 to 2025 The explosion of club teams and watered-down competition How unsigned seniors earn college offers through late-season tournaments Frustrations with tournament fees, travel costs, and pay-to-play models The importance of quality refereeing and professionalism The urgent need for youth sports reform focused on development over dollars Why This Matters: Parents, coaches, and athletes are investing time and money into club sports with the hope of long-term payoffs. But are we losing sight of what matters most? Shane shares personal stories and insight after four years of coaching 16U, 17U, and unsigned seniors, providing a raw and unfiltered look at what's really going on behind the scenes. If you're searching for: “Should my kid play club basketball in 2025?” “Is AAU basketball still worth it?” “Youth sports problems in 2025” “How to get recruited from club basketball” “Club basketball vs high school basketball” “Why are youth sports so expensive?” ...then this episode gives you the perspective you're looking for.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the rising popularity of “pickleball.” Invented in 1965, this sport combines tennis, table tennis and badminton and is attracting people of all ages and backgrounds. Capitalizing on its popularity are plenty of businesses, athletic associations and even churches. This discussion delves into the uniqueness of pickleball but then goes further to discuss the broader relationship between churches and sports. Dr. White riffs on sports ministries and how churches can and must navigate the increasingly demanding world of youth sports. He also dives into the individual Christian's relationship to sports and the priority we give them in our lives. Episode Links Today's conversation was sparked by an article by Religion News titled, “Churches hope to tap the power of pickleball”, but as mentioned in the podcast, the church's relationship with sports dates back much further. You can read more about the history of sports ministry, provided by GameDay Sports Ministries HERE, or by The Christian Athlete HERE. Alexis mentioned a handful of past podcast discussions she and Dr. White had on a few aspects of modern culture that provide some helpful cultural context, such as the current pandemic of loneliness (CCP76: On the Never Marrieds), the desire for religious experiences (CCP145: On Whether Churches Should be Churchy), and why men are looking for “manly” churches (CCP135: On Women Leaving the Church). Pertinent to today's conversation is an exploration of the role of athletics in the lives of families. For more on that topic, here are some links you might be interested in checking out: Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra, “Youth Sports, Healthy Families, and the Future of the Church,” The Gospel Coalition. Melissa Steffan, “The Main Reason for Declining Church Attendance: Children's Sports?,” Christianity Today. More broadly, Dr. White discussed the way in which sports have become somewhat of a modern religion, with many attributing religious-like experiences to sports highlights or god-like statuses to athletes. To read more about that, here are some suggested resources: Kurt Streeter, “In Troubled Times, the Sports World Offers a Necessary Salve,” The New York Times. David Briggs, “The Final Four, travel teams and empty pews: Research on sports and religion,” The Association of Religion Data Archives. Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Dorrance Kelly, All Things Shining. David Brooks, “The Arena Culture,” The New York Times. While sports may seem to provide echoes of something truly transcendent, the real source can be found in the God of the Christian faith. Dr. White shares about C.S. Lewis' journey to God as captured in his autobiography, Surprised by Joy. For those of you who are new to Church & Culture, we'd love to invite you to subscribe (for free of course) to the twice-weekly Church & Culture blog and check out the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday. We'd also love to hear from you if there is a topic that you'd like to see discussed on the Church & Culture Podcast in an upcoming episode.

Tens of millions of children in the United States participate in youth sport, a pastime widely believed to be part of a good childhood. Yet most children who enter youth sport are driven to quit by the time they enter adolescence, and many more are sidelined by its high financial burdens. Until now, there has been little legal scholarly attention paid to youth sport or its reform. In More Than Play: How Law, Policy, and Politics Shape American Youth Sport (University of California Press, 2025) Dr. Dionne Koller sets the stage for a different approach by illuminating the law and policy assumptions supporting a model that puts children's bodies to work in an activity that generates significant surplus value. In doing so, she identifies the wide array of beneficiaries who have a stake in a system that is much more than just play—and the political choices that protect these parties' interests at children's expense. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Nine Years Old, 324 Pitches—Time to Draw the LineAfter a week off to shake a nasty bug, host Deven Morgan is back on “the world's most dangerous youth baseball podcast” with his most passionate episode yet. Deven opens with quick hits—AxeBat and 3A Athletics discounts, new Driveline Academy camps—then dives into a heartfelt recap of his son's High School team's postseason run and the power of true senior leadership. From there he pulls no punches on coaching culture, contrasting supportive environments with programs that shame kids into playing scared. The centerpiece rant tackles a jaw-dropping case of pitch-count abuse: a nine-year-old who threw 324 pitches in one weekend and the tournament operator who shrugged it off. Deven explains why tournament providers must adopt MLB Pitch Smart-style limits, likening the current “not our problem” attitude to the era of child factory labor. Along the way he deconstructs toxic “tough-love” memes, explores flow state, and reminds parents that the real goal is nurturing a lifelong passion for the game. Raw, funny, and unfiltered, this episode is a call to protect kids and preserve baseball's future.00:00 Introduction and Housekeeping06:48 High School Baseball Experience11:06 Coaching Culture and Leadership20:12 The Impact of Coaching Styles30:09 Youth Sports and Performance Mindset39:15 Understanding Flow State in Sports41:46 The Impact of Parental Pressure on Young Athletes44:57 Pitch Count Abuse in Youth Baseball56:03 The Responsibility of Tournament Providers01:01:06 Creating a Safe Environment for Young Athletes01:09:59 The Importance of Passion in Youth SportsLinksDriveline Youth Development Campshttps://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-youth-baseball-camps/Start training with Driveline now with Academy Flex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Develop bat speed with our Youth Power Bat for just $99!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Skills That Scale: The Complete Youth Baseball Training Manual is out now!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Train bat speed and barrel accuracy with our Youth Underload Smash bat - just $79!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⬇️ Host ⬇️Deven Morgan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/devenmorgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Does your approach change if the activity is a team sport versus an individual activity? What are effective ways to talk to your partner about these concerns without triggering defensiveness or shutting down the conversation? How sibling dynamics along with parental expectations can influence a child's interests and shape their developing identity. A helpful phrase you can use that may reduce some of the pressure and urgency, leading to lessened friction and tension between your partner and child.       ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:
