Show Notes

In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, host Young Han sits down with Adam Geisler, CEO and Co-Founder of Youth Athletes United, a company on a mission to positively impact kids through sports and active play.

Adam dives into one of the biggest modern parenting challenges — keeping kids engaged in the real world when iPads, video games, and digital entertainment dominate their attention. He shares how his team designs fun, creative, and high-energy programs that get children moving, laughing, and connecting again through sports.

The conversation explores the dopamine-driven pull of screens, the need to make physical activity exciting again, and how parents can help their kids rediscover the joy of being active. Adam and Young also reflect on the importance of building confidence, resilience, and teamwork through play.

All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis — helping founders go further, together.
