Coach Shep10

I’m going to say something that youth sports parents hate hearing.

Your kid might not be that good.

And that’s okay.

Not every 10-year-old throwing 57 mph is the next college All-American.
Not every kid dominating at 12 is going to dominate at 18.

But somewhere along the way youth sports turned into this weird arms race where every kid is being marketed like a future D1 commit before they’ve even hit puberty.

Private lessons.
Travel teams.
Showcases.
Recruiting talk at 13.

Meanwhile half these kids are burnt out before high school.

Here’s the part people don’t want to hear:

The best athletes usually aren’t the ones being overhyped at 11.

They’re the ones who are still in love with the game at 17.

Still working.
Still competing.
Still hungry.

Youth sports shouldn’t be about building the next Instagram highlight reel.

It should be about building athletes who don’t quit when the game gets hard.

And trust me…

That usually shows up way later than everyone thinks. 🔥

Heck yeah!

Congratulations to all selections!
