Casting Families of Competitive Youth Athletes for a Documentary
The documentary is co-produced by Taylor Sheridan’s 101 Studios and Youth Inc., the production company and podcast founded by NFL All-Pro and Emmy Award-winning commentator Greg Olsen. The film will feature many of the world’s leading experts and recognizable athletes sharing their own youth sports experiences, both as competitors and as parents.
This isn’t a documentary about judging parents, coaches, or athletes. It’s about sharing authentic stories that reflect the many realities of youth sports while helping other families navigate the journey with greater understanding.

Seeking:
We’re looking for competitive youth athletes ages 8–16 and their families from across the United States.
Especially Seeking: Hockey families and Volleyball families
We’re also interested in hearing from families participating in all competitive sports, including individual and team sports.
Whether your family is navigating:
Early morning practices
Travel teams
Tournament schedules
The pressure to specialize
Burnout
Injuries
Social media
Recruiting expectations
Family sacrifices
Finding balance while supporting a young athlete
—we’d love to hear your story.
No two families have the same experience, and every perspective matters.
