What Youth Sports Are Really Doing to Our Kids

What Youth Sports Are Really Doing to Our Kids

Author: TRAIN HARD Media August 5, 2026 Duration: 1:28:47

This episode starts with a conversation about youth sports, but quickly expands into a much bigger discussion about parenting, fitness, faith, and the habits that shape our lives.

Jason and Gabe reflect on Kaden's recent baseball tournament, the lessons kids learn through both winning and losing, and why the adults on the sidelines often have just as much to learn as the players. From there, they dive into endurance training, nutrition, the evolution of CrossFit and Hyrox, and what practical fitness looks like for busy parents.

The conversation also explores entrepreneurship, building resilience through uncertainty, breaking unhealthy habits, the role of faith and community, and why long-term consistency matters more than chasing perfection.

Whether you're raising kids, training for your next challenge, or simply trying to become a little better every day, this episode is packed with honest conversations and practical takeaways.
