Show Notes
🎧 Youth sports have quietly transformed into a $40 billion private-equity playground, and parents are paying the price. In this powerful episode of Spill the Tea with D & E, Earth-mama Dominique and 28-year basketball coach Erica unpack how Wall Street style investors are rolling up leagues, monetizing childhood, and turning a public good into a profit machine.
We break down the scholarship myth, the burnout epidemic, privatization of school sports, and the real steps parents can take right now to protect their kids, their wallets, and their sanity. This is a must-listen for parents, coaches, educators, and anyone who believes sports should build kids… not break them.
📣
Youth sports didn’t get “more competitive.”
They got financialized.
If you’ve ever wondered why fees keep rising, joy keeps shrinking, and your kid feels exhausted before high school… this episode is for you. 🎧🍵
