Michael Lewis, bestselling author of *Moneyball*, reflects on how youth sports shaped him as a father and why coaching his kids became one of the most valuable parenting experiences of his life. He shares why character always mattered more than wins and losses, explains the moment every parent needs to step back and let their child take ownership, and offers a thoughtful critique of today's travel sports culture. From early college commitments to the growing pressure placed on young athletes, Lewis discusses where youth sports are helping families and where they may be losing sight of what matters most. 🔗 RESOURCES 📩 Youth Inc.
