Ryan is joined by Mads Andreessen from the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports.

Norway has adopted a youth-focused sports development system. The majority of youth play sports, costs are low, teams are organized differently in the younger years of development, parental involvement is uniquely structured, and new ideas are introduced regularly. Our youth sports systems here in the United States need to ask real questions about how we are organized and how we can increase access for our youth. What can we learn from what Norway is doing?

I hope you learn as much in this episode as I did and as Mads said, "We have to let kids be kids."
