Raising a Champion

John Boruk

Raising a Champion digs into the $15 billion industry of youth sports through the eyes of former professional athletes, parents, coaches, administrators and medical experts to answer how youth sports can improve, be safer, cost-effective and more inclusive for all athletes. We also explore how parents can provide a better supporting cast financially, emotionally and spiritually for their children to not only raise a champion on the playing field, but Raising a Champion for life!
