I have five sons, each born about two years apart. I went from changing diapers to toilet training to changing diapers to toilet training to buying jockey shorts and then athletic supporters. My boys went from weighing a collective thirty-nine pounds at birth to now weighing over half a ton and each having become a professional athlete! Did I have any idea that I was raising five future athletes? Of course not. I have driven or flown hundreds of thousands of miles over the last thirty-plus years to ice rinks, baseball diamonds, football fields, and basketball courts, to mention a few. Besides athletes, they are now entertainers, fathers, entrepreneurs, role models, and familiar faces on TV. I dedicated 24/7/365 to raise my "boys" to be hard workers, and good citizens. Outnumbered is a book about some of the events in my sons' lives as told by me, the only female on the team. I never would have dreamed that I would have the life that I had while raising these incredible athletes.

The modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.
