Episode 70: Dylan Meyer (Founder & CEO of Legacy of Legends)
In this episode🎙: I sit down with Dylan Meyer, the Founder & CEO of Legacy of Legends to talk about his evolution from young sports enthusiast to entrepreneur and advocate for positive change in youth sports.
🔹 From Fan Page to Founder
How a kid making photoshops for his favorite player, Dwayne Wade, eventually started running his official fan account.
🔹 The Vetting Problem
Legacy of Legends helps parents and athletes find the right camps—not just the popular or expensive ones.
🔹 Not Everyone Gets a Yes
Meyer’s team turns away programs that don’t align with their values. Quality coaching, not quantity, is the goal.
🔹 The Youth Sports Money Grab
Everyone’s trying to make a dollar off parents’ dreams. Dylan shares how to spot when a “development opportunity” is really just a sales pitch.
🔹 Who’s Qualified, Anyway?
Anyone can start a camp. But should they? The lack of consistent coaching standards might surprise you.
🔹 Breaking Down Barriers
Camps can get pricey. Legacy of Legends offers grants to help families access the right opportunities without the financial strain.
🔹 The Pro Athlete Paradox
When former pros speak out about youth sports, should we listen..or are they too far removed from the current reality?
🔹 Relatable or Out of Touch?
Can a professional athlete truly understand the experience of the average youth sports family?
🔹 HOT TAKES
Justin Bieber > Taylor Swift?
Should adults ALWAYS just hand over that foul ball or homerun to the nearest child in the stands?
And do athletes need to ditch the headphones during warm-ups and actually talk to their teammates?
