The Way of Champions Podcast is brought to you by
Sports Refund. When kids sign up to play youth
sports there are always fees involved. And parents pay those fees
so their child can be on the team, not the injury report. That’s
why I love Sports Refund, and parents will too. Sports Refund is
low-cost sports fee insurance – NOT health insurance, sports fee
insurance. So if your child becomes injured or sick and can’t play,
you get your fees reimbursed for that lost time, from one game to
an entire season. It’s that simple. This product not only saves
families wasted fees, it saves injured athletes the stress of
feeling like they’re wasting their parents’ money. The fees come
back until the player comes back. So they can focus on fully
recovering and making a healthy return to the game. Sports Refund
has options for individuals and organizations. Ask your club if
they offer it, or visit
SportsRefund.com/Game to learn more and sign up
today. That’s
SportsRefund.com/Game. Can’t Play? Don’t Pay.
With Sports Refund.
