Slopes, Stadiums and Strings: Navigating The World Of Youth Extracurriculars w/ Andy Phillips Dec 02, 2025

This week on More Than Musicians, Sarah sits down with Andy Phillips — a rare talent who has performed at a professional level in not just one discipline, but two. A former member of the U.S. Ski Team who later became the beloved kicker for the University of Utah football team (and even spent time in the NFL), Andy’s story is full of remarkable twists. And what many don’t know is that he’s also a gifted violinist.

Andy’s perspective is especially powerful because he’s now a coach to his own kids on various teams and a featured writer for the Salt Lake Tribune, where he is passionate about helping kids tap into their fullest potential. Together, he and Sarah dive into what today’s youth are facing in the world of competitive sports and nonstop activities: burnout, the value of multi-sport experiences, knowing when an investment has lifetime value, and how parents can tell when it might be time for a child to step back or even quit.

Insightful, grounded, and refreshingly honest, this episode offers practical wisdom for parents trying to help their kids thrive — a must-listen for parents, coaches, and anyone raising high-potential kids.
