Well, our documentary, Where Children Play, The Challenge of Youth Sports, is a documentary about really the change of culture that we're going through right now around the world, not just here in the U.S., but around the world, and how we have kind of gone away from focusing on kids and what kids want with their sporting and playing sports. The whole point of what we're trying to do is to show how the system is broken, but we can fix it, and we know how, and we will fix it, and things will improve.
Ever wondered about the real issues plaguing youth sports today? In this episode of The Sports Doctor Radio Show, Dr. Bob Wild dives into the pressing concerns that young athletes face. From overuse injuries to the relentless pressure and commercialization, youth sports are becoming a battlefield for many children. Joel Franco, producer of the upcoming documentary 'Where Children Play: The Challenge of Youth Sports,' joins Dr.
Bob to discuss these alarming trends and the urgent need for a more balanced, child-focused approach. They explore how the current system often prioritizes winning over well-being, leaving young athletes at risk both physically and mentally. But it's not all doom and gloom. Tasha Hayes, co-founder of Hurdle Apparel Socks, brings a fresh perspective with her innovative foot comfort solutions.
She shares the story behind Hurdle Socks, designed to provide maximum support and performance for everyone from healthcare professionals to active kids. The conversation also touches on the latest advancements in fabric technology, making dress socks as functional as they are stylish. This episode is a must-listen for parents, coaches, and anyone invested in the future of youth sports.
It offers not just a critique but also practical solutions and hopeful insights into creating a healthier sports culture for our children.
