    Restoring Balance to Youth Sports with Orlando Alamano

    Former BSU hockey goalie Orlando Alamano knows firsthand that sports can be more than a game--it revolutionized his own life. But now as a coach and hockey dad, he wants to make sure that sports continues to be filled with opportunity, life lessons, and fun--not the undue pressure or exhaustion for kids and families that it can be known for. In this episode we cover: The difference between sports activities of our grandparents vs todayHow sports creates opportunities for kids to fail in a safe environmentThe expense of sports and its tendency to create class barriersHow coaches can shape the next generation to become better humans, not just winnersThe professionalization and commercialization of youth leaguesThe importance of balance and why young athletes should also pursue artistic activities or hobbiesHow to keep the busy sports season as a single season and not your whole yearAnd more!
