Description

In this episode, Kirsten sits down with Luis Fernando Llosa—investigative journalist, author, and co-founder of Whole Child Sports—for a powerful conversation about the state of youth athletics today. Together, they explore what’s great about youth sports, what’s gone wrong, and how parents can help shift the culture toward one that values character, joy, and long-term growth over early success.


Luis shares his unique perspective on how competition, coaching, and parenting have evolved, and the impact today’s culture is having on young athletes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone raising or coaching kids in the modern youth sports world.
