  • Youth Inc gets it

    I know nothing about football. Nothing about Olsen. I know the crummy coaches I had and I know the coaches I would have run through a wall for.

    Youth Inc takes an honest look at youth sports and offers guidance for youth athletes, parents, coaches, and parent/coaches.

  • Youth Inc. LOVE

    Love Greg Olsen, I was a huge fan when he played on the Panthers! Lately I am the parent to an athlete, he’s 8 and some coaches treat them like they are 18. I really appreciate the insights Greg provides.

  • True Development

    One of the most informative youth sports podcasts. The conversations are real and focused on developing young athletes into people first, with both short term and long term growth in mind. Parents and coaches should listen.

  • Listen to some pro athletes tell you how they know how to make your kid a youth sports star & how the only person holding your kid back from future stardom is you. This stuff was discredited decades ago.

    A bit alarming how good the reviews are.

    Signed, youth sports coach

  • Good info

    Really great information. Sound mix for the podcasts is terrible. Very uneven and I find myself raising and lowering the volume throughout.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Men in Blazers' Roger Bennett: The World Cup Moment That Could Change U.S. Soccer Forever
Q: What needs to happen to make this World Cup a long-lasting growth moment for football in the U.S.?
Execution beyond the tournament matters: sustained coaching development, better scouting, and stronger pathways from youth to professional levels, plus nurturing youth environments where kids can learn through play and not just formal competition.
The Pitching Ninja on Arm Care, Pitch Counts & Youth Baseball
Q: How do you become The Pitching Ninja? What is the origin story for this brand and platform?
I started as a dad coaching at the field, sharing pictures and teaching angles with parents. I connected with a core group of innovators—people like Kyle Bodie, Ben Brewster, Eric Cressy, and Matt Blake—and gradually built a community where I could translate complex mechanics into accessible lessons for coaches and players.
Jon Gordon: The #1 Mistake Parents Make in Youth Sports
Q: What are the core messages you want youth coaches and parents to take away today?
Focus on positivity, relationship-building, and clear, upfront communication with parents; use structured commitments to guide behavior and culture; involve parents in the process and teach kids through consistent routines and reflections.
Inside the League Changing Women's Volleyball w/ Courtney Thompson & Lexi Rodriguez
Q: Is conditioning used as a punishment in youth sports, and at what age is that appropriate?
I believe in building endurance and toughness through purposeful, well-organized practice rather than mindless conditioning, using sport-specific drills and play to develop resilience without breaking players down.
Inside the League Changing Women's Volleyball w/ Courtney Thompson & Lexi Rodriguez
Q: You coach your own kids—what is one thing you do as a dad coach that you know is wrong, but you just can't stop doing?
I coach them hard to maintain the trust and respect of the other families, but I balance that with clear boundaries and communicate that I prioritize being their dad while also holding them to high standards as an athlete.
