As a child and adolescent, I played a variety of sports on both a recreational and travel team level. Each sport and season taught me different physical skills, and I made friends I would not have playing a single sport or no sports at all. 

In this episode I discuss the importance playing sports has in the cognitive development of all youth. From conflict resolution to sportsmanship to social emotional learning, youth sports are more than physical fitness and getting out of the house on Saturday morning. Each sport offers its own type of learning that benefits kids throughout their lives.
