Several years ago, while writing my first book—Why Johnny Hates Sports—I had the chance to reflect on thousands of conversations I’ve had with recreation leaders around the country.
As an invited speaker to state, national, and global conferences, I had some of the most fascinating and enlightening chats after I came off stage. It was there that professionals shared their challenges as well as their success stories.
Honestly, I learned as much from them as they did from me, and I included many of their insights in the chapters devoted to what needs to be done to improve sports for kids.
