AI Youth Sports- “ Can't Chat GPT Sports" | The Locker Room - S6 EP7

The Locker Room with topics that shape the past, present, and future of the game. Whether you were raised on AAU bus rides, Friday night lights, or the blacktop at the rec center—this one hits home. 🗣️💯

This week, EJ & MH step inside The Locker Room for a powerful episode on Youth Sports & The Future – a full-court discussion on how the game has changed from our childhoods to today’s high-stakes, hyper-competitive youth sports era.

Remember when it was all-day outside, drinking from the water hose, playing every sport until the sun went down? Now it’s iPads, private trainers, elite travel teams, and NIL deals for high schoolers. What happened to the fun? What happened to development?
In this episode, we break it all down: 🏀 The shift from playing multiple sports to specializing at a young age 
💰 The NIL era – kids making money before they hit varsity
😷 How COVID changed youth sports forever
📱 Social media pressure & the rise of “highlight athletes”
🧠 Mental health, burnout & the cost of chasing the scholarship dream
🏆 What the future looks like: More access or more exclusivity?

This is more than a conversation—it’s a culture check.
Whether you’re a sports parent, former athlete, coach, or just someone who misses the old days of neighborhood games and honest competition, this one will hit deep. We talk legacy, evolution, and where the youth game is headed in a world that’s flipped from fun-first to funded-fast.
