Today’s youth face a much different athletics experience than prior generations. From a different level of parental involvement to the always-on pressure that social media creates, today’s athletes face the mounting pressures of our performance culture.

Kate Fagan has been speaking on the experience of the female athlete and the mental health concerns generated by today’s achievement focused youth sports environment and how coaches, parents, and caring adults can lean into the positive and be mindful of the harmful. Ms. Fagan is a sportscaster, an Emmy-award winning journalist, and the author of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling book, WHAT MADE MADDY RUN, which takes a closer look at the inside life of a successful young athlete whose life ended in suicide.
Ms. Fagan will share insights from her personal and professional experiences and bolster parents in their role as supporters of the real goal of youth sports.
