A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

Loved the Sports Philanthropy Network field trip yesterday to the Intentional Sports facility in the Austin neighborhood in Chicago. Amazing facility with outdoor mini-pitches for soccer, indoor facilities for basketball, soccer and more. Serving thousands of kids every week. This $40 million facility has helped transform the area and dramatically reduce the gun violence.

Thank you to Austin Carr and the whole staff for agreeing to host the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business students that are interested in a career in sports. They had a tremendous opportunity to spend 2.5 days visiting different types of sports organizations to get a feel for the significant number of jobs in the industry.

Was pleased to see terrific engagement from the students and especially the great questions they had about creating impact and sports philanthropy!

And of course love the Badger swag. Can never have too much of that!

🚨🚨THIS IS CRAZY🚨🚨

This video of Los Angeles #Rams players' and coaches' real-time salaries at minicamp has gone viral on social media.

Matthew Stafford makes over $300 every couple of minutes and some players only make a couple dollars.

INSANE �

One of the great opportunities that we get as Sports Philanthropy Network is to take field trips into the community to get a first-hand look at the fantastic work being performed by community organizations. Yesterday we go to visit Rob Mutert and his team at WARP Corps in Woodstock, Illinois. Incredibly engaging group of leaders that helps many teenagers with a place that functions as a safe haven beyond home and school. With a vast array of ways to remain physically active and engaged with music and other activities, WARP Corps sets a strong tone and provides a supportive network!

As they develop their fundraising campaign, they are looking for at building a larger facility that will allow them to add services and create indoor exercise options.
Take a look at their work here: https://t.co/SQRw0G8nJv

Their tagline says a lot:
Preventing Youth Mental Health Challenges Before Crisis Begins

Third event of Day 2 was the Bob Woodruff Foundation and Move United Sport Wheelchair Football Game at the Convention Center.

It always amazes me to see the force of the impacts and the overall athleticism of these players.

WCHA changed the rules about officials being dressed for warmups after a brawl in Grand Forks 30 minutes before face off. Badger player got decked retrieving puck in North Dakota zone.
