## Resource

Are year-round sports making our kids stronger? We are talking about the wild world of competitive youth sports—from 5 a.m. hockey practices and travel teams to reclassing kids for a competitive edge and wondering when enough is enough. We unpack the pressure parents feel to keep up, whether kids are chasing their own dreams or ours, and what happens when sports become less about fun and more about the pursuit of "what if."
