An interview with Tom Farrey, Founder and Executive Director of the Sports & Society Program at The Aspen Institute.


And that led to me wanting to solve the problems that were identified in the book.  Specifically, how can we be the world's sports superpower while still only, we know, one out of every four or five kids are actually physically active enough. I mean, what was the disconnect with our system? So I had all of this knowledge, all of these insights around policies and sports structure and governance and parent matters, and physiology and on and on and on, and I was like, look, I got to do something with this, someone's got to build a better sport system.
