We explore the delicate balance between protecting our kids and giving them independence as they grow. Mitch shares his experience of sending his 10-year-old son to an overnight soccer camp for the first time, sparking a deeper conversation about parenting anxieties and letting go.

• Comparing our more free-range childhood experiences to today's more protective parenting styles
• The value in allowing kids to experience appropriate levels of independence and failure
• How community with other parents helps calibrate our approach to protection versus freedom
• The importance of sports in teaching children how to handle both winning and losing
• Why constantly protecting kids from disappointment may inadvertently communicate they can't handle challenges
• Shane Gillis's controversial but authentic hosting of the ESPYs and what it represents
