"I'm sorry, your kid’s high school volleyball team just isn’t that important."

Today we're going to discuss this quote from Megan Rapinoe made in Time magazine in June 2022. This is a statement I have sat with for awhile and feel that it is time to discuss this way of thinking.

Youth sports DO matter.

Youth sport DO save lives.

Youth sports are VERY important in the lives of most kids and parents who participate in them.

I invite you to listen in as I messily wrestle with this quote and hopefully provide a humble voice in opposition to this belittling and disregarding thought.
