Christopher Bjork and Bill Hoynes are Vassar college professors and authors of the compelling book, "More Than a Game: How Youth Sports is Changing the Way We Parent." There are so many ways parents have to navigate the complex waters of having a youth/student athlete. Through their original research the Chris and Bill ask questions about how youth sports have evolved in communities, how parents are struggling to get their children seen by scouts and upper level competitions, and what does the rise of programs like NIL mean for youth sports. This is one episode you don't want to miss. Learn more about the book, here: https://a.co/d/195ht22
