About this episode
This week Toph and Jeff welcome the co-founder of TOP Sports, Kevin Shier, to the podcast. After seeing early specialization, hyper-competitiveness, and toxic sports environments become the norm in Toronto, TOP Sports was founded to create a more balanced youth sports model by focusing on player experience, long-term development, and a seasonal, set schedule that encourages multi-sport play. In this episode we talk about: — Importance of playing multiple sports — Importance of falling in love with the game — Thriving through adversity — Character building AND SO MUCH MORE!
