In this episode of Youth Inc., Greg Olsen sits down with boxing legend Mike Tyson for a conversation about the lessons youth sports can teach for life. Tyson reflects on the travel, competition, and experiences that shaped him as a young fighter, explains why he's investing in the next generation through his amateur boxing invitational, and shares why determination matters more than talent. He opens up about wanting to quit as a kid, the coach who believed in him when he didn't believe in himself, and the powerful bond between athletes and coaches. Whether you're a parent, coach, athlete, or sports fan, this episode is packed with timeless advice on resilience, mentorship, and building champions on and off the field.
