Is your kid in the right sport?
Most parents are guessing. Your child has tried four activities, likes two, is good at one, and asks to quit about every third week.
In 30 minutes we’ll go through an exercise together — one you do with your child — that lays out everything they’ve tried and scores each one two ways: how much fun it was, and how much it felt like them. Where both run high is where your child has momentum.
- You’ll leave with the worksheet filled in for your own child — not a blank one to take home and get to later.
- What to do when the answer is “I don’t know,” and the follow-up questions that get you a real one.
- Why letting them try more things isn’t falling behind, even when the families around you are specializing.

What we’ll fill in together
The Find the Fit worksheet.
Every activity your child has ever tried — seasons, camps, one-offs, the thing they quit after two weeks. Chess and theater and guitar count too. You ask, they answer, you write.
- Fun — how much they enjoyed it.
- Felt like me — how much it felt built for them.
- What did you learn? — in their words, not yours.

Why we’re doing this
“Early specialization doesn’t maximize your child’s potential, it limits the likelihood they’ll find what they love or stay in a sport long enough to pursue their greatness.”
“Specializing in one sport before the age of 12–14 will actually rob your child of critical experiences, relationships, and lessons that would have expanded their potential. Playing a wide range of sports has nothing to do with sacrificing a gift or opportunity to be great, and everything to do with laying the foundation for being great.”
From Play Over Podium · Chapter 6, Early Specialization Kills Potential
Who’s running it
I won two Olympic gold medals. Nobody pushed me.
My parents let me try basketball, baseball, soccer, Tae Kwon Do, skiing, sailing, and swimming. I didn’t specialize until I was 14, and I chose it myself. That’s why I was still in love with it at 23.
Today I’m a dad of two kids in youth sports, feeling the same pull toward the scoreboard that every parent feels.
