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!
