Youth Sports Pressure--and Grace-Based Parenting: Brian Smith & Ed Uszynski
Friday, February 6, 2026
Dreading the car ride home after your child's rough game?

Brian Smith and Ed Uszynski, authors of "Away Game: A Christian Parent's Guide to Navigating Youth Sports," show how to turn pressure and disappointment in youth sports into gospel grace by choosing connection over correction, preparing words of unconditional pride, and rebuilding trust when you miss it.
