Publisher's summary

Let's help youth athletes learn how to play for something more than the score. Their future depends on it.

More than ever, youth sports has become a hypercompetitive battleground. Coaches berate the players and parents threaten the coaches. Pat Combs has seen firsthand the destruction this has caused. It's negatively impacting our homes and communities.

This book gives you practical tools so you can break down the "win at all costs" paradigm and replace it with a growth mindset. Since almost all youth athletes will not become professional players, let's allow sports to give them something they can use their whole life: character and virtue. Traits that matter more than the score.

MOSTLY BIBLE TALK

I wanted to like this book. I really tried. The title itself is a great message - The rest is useless. Waste of time. The author should of stated up front it’s a Christian book. So frustrating. He did a very good job a narrating.

Author is a travel team employee (watch out)

The author pumps the the corporate travel youth sport industry while wanting that industry to emphasize “fun.” Good luck! It is human nature that allocating a large percentage of a family's money to one of these youth travel sports organizations creates pressure and saps all the "fun" from the situation. These travel teams also take away the free time of community parents which could be used volunteering for local leagues.

Travel team kids spend an inordinate time traveling and eating fast food. Alternatively, local team kids play free pick-up games. It is not surprising that the actual level of these travel teams is often lower than the local teams in our area.
