The Competitive Nature of Today’s Youth Sports

>> January 24, 2021

The world of youth sports can be incredibly stressful. Long practices, hefty investments and increasingly selective teams can add up to parents pushing their kids to the brink. We speak with Rich Cohen, a hockey dad, about the modern pressures of the competitive sport and why some parents end up caring more about the sport than their own kid does.

George Washington and Presidential Powers

>> July 26, 2015

The President of the United States has a lot of powers that we think are given to him by the U.S. Constitution.
