À propos de cet audio

Why are kids quitting sports? What’s gone wrong in youth development? In this eye-opening episode of SPKN Sideline, hosts Meg Wilson and Dr. G sit down with internationally renowned sports sociologist Dr. Jay Coakley, whose groundbreaking textbook Sports in Society has shaped how the world understands sport, culture, and development. With over 45 years of research, Dr. Coakley explores: - How commercialization and over-organization have killed play - Why youth sports are becoming a pay-to-play system for the wealthy - The emotional toll of early specialization and over-coaching - How to revive physical literacy, joy, and community in youth sports - The systemic inequalities hiding behind “amateur” sport - What real reform in coaching education should look like From the dangers of helicopter parenting to the myth of the “scholarship pipeline,” this episode challenges coaches, parents, and administrators to radically rethink what sport is for. If you believe in making sport more accessible, ethical, and meaningful—this conversation will hit home. 👉 Enjoyed the episode?
