    Episode 1 Between the Sidelines and Us Intro

    Why have this conversation about youth sports? As the wives of former professional athletes, we've experienced the culture of elite sport and find some of the behaviors and reactions at our children's sporting events quite bizarre and concerning. As mothers, we are ready to dive into a conversation about just how to make youth sports a healthier space where all student athletes can thrive and develop. As professionals, we see the need to advocate for better environments that will improve the experience for all involved stakeholders.

Logan played tight end for the UCLA Bruins after being a multi-sport athlete in high school. He was signed by the Washington Football Team as an undrafted free agent and went on to have 9-year NFL career. He currently does color commentary for the Washington Commanders and also coaches H.S., collegiate, and professional athletes.
