Tonight, I will be in Darien, Connecticut to speak about Until It Hurts at an event co-hosted by the Darien Library and YWCA Parent Awareness Network.
I'm especially looking forward to this one, as I have a previous connection to youth sports in Darien. In 2010, I wrote a piece for the New York Times about Peter Barston, an inquisitive 15-year-old and former rec league second baseman who wondered: Why do kids play sports in Darien? To get the answers, Peter launched a survey of hundreds of kids in town and came up with interesting results.
The number one reason kids in Darien play sports?
Not winning.
Not college scholarships.
According to Peter's research.....
Hope to see you there.

I would have gladly mentioned this on the show. Next time you're doing something in an area where I'm covered, please let me know.
