- Over the course of the last few decades, youth sports have transformed from fun and games into a multi-billion dollar industry. Harlan Banks and Anay Nagarajan discuss how the business behind youth sports twists valuable life lessons and propose changes to save the games they love. Harlan Banks is a sophomore at Saint Francis High School. In his free time, you may find him at the gym, the movie theater, or the beach. Growing up on Stanford’s campus, he attended sporting events regularly, and it was at these games that he began to dream of one day playing college basketball himself. In his talk with Anay Nagarajan, he hopes to shed light on the life lessons that have been stripped from youth sports in recent years.

In his free time, he enjoys snowboarding, going to the gym, and spending time with friends and family. In his talk with Harlan Banks, he hopes to bring light to issues surrounding youth sports and shared ideas on how they can be addressed. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Love this conversation!
It's important to keep fun at the center of Youth Sports. It's getting ridiculous with select teams and kid's playing one sport year-round and getting burned out.
Harlan is so poetic and refined in the way he talks!💪🏽🤴🏽

Harlan, this is so fire!!

COOL THEME .🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
some D1 basketball players right there
John Mansur forreal though
Youth sports are expensive. 2k a year for club soccer, and if your child makes AAU its 1500. I only want them to work hard at whatever they decide to do, but if they decide to want to play other sports which mean more money and when electronics are more important than getting better at those sports I have issues with it
I would want my kid to be successful at what THEY want to do. Doesn't matter if it's with a bat or a computer.
so close to the real point, yet so far. men.
I'm going to MAKE my daughter watch this. And while it's great in principal to agree the practicality is dubious....playing 2 sports at competitive levels will eventually conflict even at very young ages as the need to be in top form for the following season or be cut becomes an unspoken reality. Coaches that run side business as "trainers" perpetuate this rather than suggesting that a rest from the sport would be wise. For example....hockey runs all summer long and soccer runs all winter....there are limited spots at elite levels up for grabs.
