Does Sport Actually Heal?

CHJS spends a lot of time telling coaches that sport heals kids — but in Episode 3, they let a kid say it himself. Leo, 13, joins Armond and Alecia not as a guest celebrity but as an athlete with real opinions about what makes sport feel safe or unsafe, connecting or isolating, healing or harmful. The conversation is refreshingly unscripted: the hosts ask, Leo answers, and when his experience complicates the framework, they follow him there instead of steering him back. It's a useful gut-check for any coach who thinks they know what their kids need. Plus, can't forget the hot takes with our devil's advocate Armond and with Leo playing a special guest.
