TALKING SPORTS PARENTING WITh MY WFAN COLLEAGUE BRANDON TIERNEY

I heard Brandon Tierney of WFAN’s“Tiki and Tierney” fame talking the other day on the air about the trials and tribulations of youth baseball in his town in the suburbs, and I was so intrigued as to what Brandon had to say that I thought it might be entertaining and insightful to hear what my on-air colleague has to offer and share on his experiences.

Brandon was a top ballplayer himself when he was growing up — he was a star in Xavier HS in NYC and played Div I baseball for four years at Marist College – and is now watching, observing, and teaching his 7-year-old son Colton on how to play the game of baseball and other sports. But as you’ll hear this AM  -- and as we already know – the world of youth sports is a lot different from when we were kids. And the way baseball is being taught to kids these days is a lot different from how it used to be taught back in the day.

This interview with Brandon was a lot of fun. Listen to it here: The Sports Edge with Rick Wolff
