I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the reality is, your kid isn’t heading to the Olympics. Every year, countless parents invest thousands of dollars in sports, camps, training, and more, often not with the intention of creating the next Simone Biles, yet they spend as if it were a real possibility.
Join us for this week's episode, where we discuss the financial and other commitments necessary to nurture an Olympian. If that path isn’t suitable for your child, what is a reasonable amount to spend on their activities, and when should you consider stepping back from this investment? Are there alternative avenues your child can explore to carve out their future? Absolutely!
There are many aspects to explore, and we delve into all of them. You don't want to miss this one!
