Are we doing more harm than good with American youth sports? Many programs are actually doing more harm. Our kids would literally be better off NOT playing organized sports the way some of these programs are being conducted. Here are some facts on psychological research and history regarding youth sports that should be helpful.

Hands are critically important for brain development--but the use of large muscle activities that involve legs, arms, shoulders, etc. are also mandatory for the development of young children--including health and wholesome living! Here's an interesting view of the debate between large vs. small muscles in schools and recreation.

We are being told that the US munitions supply is so low that it can take up to 18 years to replenish some of it. I'm calling BS and citing the real America as evidence. At the beginning of WWII, America went from no ammunition industry after WWI to creating the "Arsenal of Democracy" that not only supplied US forces in WWII but also supplied the allies. Let's get into the deeper reasons why we are being told it takes years to make ammunition.

There is something "new" trending with our young people called "Bed Rotting." It's where our youth stay in bed for days on end looping on Netflix or TikTok videos, etc. It's actually nothing new although the modern tech in bed is new. In the late 1800s, a neuropsychic condition developed--people tried to cure it with more bed rest--it backfired. People then realized what people needed to heal themselves mentally was NOT more bed rest but less bed rest and more PHYSICAL work! Here's a look back so you can move forward--better with more whole-body integration and well-being.

There was a very famous questionnaire commissioned by the Saturday Evening Post in the late 1950s to seek "The Secrets of Long Life." Gallop Poll conducted the study and put together a 24-page 221-question survey on diet, health, birthplace, climate, and heredity. The subjects were all 95 or older. Here's a summary of foods, fluid intake, to***co use, health, body size, physical activity, religion, family, and heredity. The results are staggering when you consider what is going on today. History speaks...what is missing today?

We have a masculinity crisis in America! Guess what? It's nothing new because we have had many masculinity crises in modern history. In today's show, I read you three of my newspaper articles that are all related to the Muscular Christianity movement and this problem of having men who are overly feminized. Weekly, I write a community health article for our local rural newspaper, so some of these articles are worth reading to you on my show. I'll start sharing some and giving you some extra context clues so we can expand a bit. Enjoy the show. I hope you find some inspiration and get some ideas from history. Take care of each other.

There is a story about Abe Lincoln who said if he had hours to cut down a tree--he would spend a lot of time sharpening his axe. It got me thinking about the lack of proper sharpening in my life from working "too much" and NOT resting enough. Here I share some self-criticism in hopes to help some of you not make the same mistakes so you can improve the quality and production of your lives.
