"It's total nonsense. It's like it doesn't matter, like it matters even less to the school," he says of parents who bully their kids into playing sports. "How do you know when to keep them there so they don't quit? And how do you knowwhen to pull the pin?" He adds that some children are just either lazy or aren't there for the right reasons. 'There is this weird thing where i think we just have a kind of shared collective memory'

On today’s episode of the podcast, Ryan talks to his friend and writing partner Nils Parker about the failure of parents to explain how things work, how to balance discipline and sensitivity, how to teach your kids to use the competitive spirit to propel them further, and more.
