Mar 29, 2023

Youth sports are in crisis, and tearing down the young athletes they’re meant to build up. In this live episode of his Revisionist History podcast, lifelong runner Malcolm Gladwell invites you to a discussion with two people who know how to make kids’ sports healthy again, especially for girls. Lauren Fleshman is one of the greatest distance runners in American history, and author of Good for a Girl: A Woman Running in a Man’s World. Journalist and coach Linda Flanagan is author of Take Back the Game: How Money and Mania Are Ruining Kids’ Sports—and Why It Matters. Together, Malcolm and his guests will explore how to transform a system that leaves young athletes exhausted, stressed and sidelined into one that nurtures their talent and strengthens them for their lives ahead.
