Youth sports cost more than money.

Most families know the visible costs: team fees, uniforms, gear, lessons, gas, hotels, tournaments, and meals on the road. But the hidden costs are often harder to count.

In this episode of Coach Dad, Jim Miller talks honestly about the full cost of youth sports — financial, emotional, relational, lifestyle, spiritual, and family cost.

This is not about quitting sports. It is about leading your family with wisdom.

Jim walks through the questions dads and sports families need to ask before saying yes to the next team, tournament, season, showcase, or training commitment. He also introduces the free Coach Dad Total Cost Audit, a simple tool to help families count more than the money.

The question is not just, “Can we afford this?”

The better question is, “Is it worth the cost?”
