Got a youth sports question you can’t ask in the group chat?
Text me. I’ll answer it on the show.
Playing time, quitting mid-season, that one coach, the parent on the sideline who won’t stop — every week I answer the real questions sports families are actually dealing with.
Ten minutes. Every week. No judgment.
I’m Sammi. Ask me anything.
Is it normal for guest players to play over year-long team members? A mom in Boise wrote to me after her daughter’s club brought in three guests for a tournament and played them ahead of committed kids, leaving her daughter crushed. In this episode I separate the normal from the tell: guest players exist for real reasons, thin rosters and injuries. But guests playing over healthy, committed members is a statement of values, and the kids on the bench hear it clearly. I explain what tournament trophies actually are at this level, marketing for next year’s enrollment, and who a stacked lineup really serves. Then the order of operations: your daughter first, tonight, and the sentence that matters, you’re right, that stung, and it wasn’t about how good you are. A kid can survive an unfair weekend. What wears her down is being told the unfairness was in her head. Then the midweek question for the coach, help me understand the tournament, and how to read the answer, because coaches are allowed one bad call, but trophy logic tells you the program’s org chart. Finally the season-end math: loyalty is supposed to flow both directions, and there are clubs that develop their own kids instead of renting better ones. Got a question for the show?
