Some unexpected diff’s when asked about “competitive leagues” like travel/club, in one’s most played sport—participation rates more common, presumably bc definition of “competitive leagues” is more expansive. Also, non-club/travel "competitive leagues" seem to have declined.

Neat to be on w/ @chrisbjork6, co-author of study, who also had a chance to speak extensively about his book: More Than Just a Game: How the Youth Sports Industry Is Changing the Way We Parent and What to Do About It https://centralrecoverypress.com/product/more-than-just-a-game
For years parents have been saying that their kid’s sports programs have been getting more expensive, more time consuming and more competitive. What was once just a common complaint has finally been given some merit with a recent Ohio State study.
