It’s tricky trying to raise well-rounded young athletes in the age of hypermonetized competitive youth sports, year-round traveling teams, and overzealous parents screaming on the sidelines. But Norwich, Vermont, a rural town of 3,000, seems to have it figured out... explore how this tight-knit community has “opted out of the academic and athletic arms race” with a balanced, collaborative approach to sports—and produced 11 Olympic athletes and three Olympic medals.
"Making it to the Olympics is seen not as the pinnacle of an athlete’s career but as a fun stop on the way to achieving other, longer-lasting dreams. Norwich, Crouse realized, wasn’t just raising better athletes than the rest of America; it was raising happier, healthier kids.
This book is pivotal for every parent who wants to raise kids to be levelheaded, fulfilled, and successful." -Amazon
