Feature Conversations with Author Corwin Melvin his New Book “ Surviving Youth Sports A Dads Guide To Parents Of Young Hoopers” In this thought-provoking video, we explore the often-overlooked reality of youth sports and its impact on parents. From high school sports to AAU basketball, the financial burden of supporting young athletes can be overwhelming, leaving many parents feeling desperate and broke. But is this by design? We delve into the world of sports and politics, examining the ways in which youth athletics are structured to benefit everyone except the families who invest their time, money, and energy. Join us as we discuss the complex dynamics of the sports community and the challenges faced by athlete parents, and consider whether it's time for a change.
