Episode 031: Youth Sports, Screen Time & Sideline Pressure

Youth sports aren’t just about practice anymore—they’re about screen time, social media pressure, and chasing instant success. In this episode of the Scrambling Dads Podcast, we unpack the real challenges young athletes face today, from balancing academics and training to staying mentally strong in a highlight-reel world. We talk about mentorship, parenting from the sidelines, building community through sports, and what Brooks Koepka’s return (and LIV Golf) says about the future of competition.
