The best way to fall in love with reading is to read what you love.

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

Norway's youth sports model is super unique:

• No scorekeeping until age 13
• Participation trophies for everyone
• No travel teams or national championships
• No online publishing of scores or athlete rankings
• Parents typically spend less than $1,000 per child per year

The result?

A 93% participation rate — 40 points higher than the U.S. — and more Winter Olympic medals than any other country in history, despite Norway having a population comparable to the Philadelphia metro area (5.6 million).

And it's not just winter sports...

Norway now produces some of the world’s best summer sport athletes, including Erling Haaland (soccer), Casper Ruud (tennis), Viktor Hovland (golf), and Jakob Ingebrigtsen (track and field).

So if you want to learn more about how Norway's youth sports system actually works (and what other countries can learn from it), here's an essay I recently wrote during the Winter Olympics that breaks it all down.

Sports teaches you how to compete. Books teach you what’s worth competing for.

We haven’t seen scenes like this in Canada since the 2010 Olympics.

It’s remarkable what this #CanMNT did today — and still could have ahead of them.

A day no Canadian will ever forget, like Jesse Marsch said.
