About the Show

The Youth Sports Show is a podcast for parents, coaches, grandparents, officials, and community leaders who want a healthier, more balanced perspective on modern youth athletics. Hosted by Gary Stocker and Joe Corabi — two longtime educators, coaches, referees, and youth sports veterans — the show cuts through the hype surrounding travel teams, scholarships, rankings, and elite competition to focus on what youth sports should really be about: building confident, resilient, and well-rounded young people. Each episode blends practical sports insight with honest conversations about the realities facing families today, including specialization pressure, travel sports culture, financial strain, college recruiting myths, overuse injuries, coaching challenges, and the growing tendency for adults to define children by athletic performance. The Youth Sports Show believes sports are a vehicle for developing life skills such as teamwork, discipline, communication, perseverance, emotional resilience, leadership, and self-confidence. Through personal stories, coaching experience, and future interviews with coaches, officials, counselors, physicians, parents, and athletes, the podcast provides thoughtful perspective designed to help families keep the joy and purpose in youth sports. This is not an anti-sports podcast. It is a pro-child, pro-family, pro-perspective podcast dedicated to helping adults remember that the goal is not simply building better athletes — it is building better humans.
