E3. Taking Back the Game, with author Linda Flanagan

DrMomCast

Conversation with parent, coach and author Linda Flanagan and her recent book Take Back the Game - How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids' Sports - And Why It Matters.

Her perspective as parent and coach resonated with us - what's supposed to be fun can be all too stressful, too. She talks with us not only about the pressures and issues that brought us here, but what we as parents can do about it!
