Financial Literacy: Educating kids in financial responsibilities Artwork

Beyond The Lines

Beyond The Lines examines and discusses how sports and life issues intersect in the lives of our youth athletes. We, as adults, parents and coaches, look at our youth as the voice and leaders of our future, but we rarely listen to them or even give them a platform to express themselves. Sports and life issues go hand-in-hand. They both compliment each other. They both enable our youth to become those leaders that we want and expect them to become. Beyond The Lines will be the platform to discuss the wide range of sports and life issues. You will hear from various guests, including youth athletes themselves. It's more than scores and highlights. Beyond The Lines is about educating and informing with the focus on our youth.

Financial Literacy: Educating kids in financial responsibilities

September 26, 2023 • Jason Davis • Episode 69

In Episode #69, I have a very informative discussion with Darrick Bowens. Darrick has an MBA in Finance and he's a franchise owner of Colbert Ball Tax in Frederick, Maryland. Darrick shares his vast knowledge of the finance industry and how that affects young kids. Darrick discusses the financial literacy program he started in Frederick earlier this year. He gives his insight into what age kids should start learning the basics of finance and how that should be implemented in schools as well as at home. Darrick also shares his thoughts on the N.I.L. (Name Image and Likeness) situation and college athletes should manage their finances off this ever-growing college sports program. He also shares his thoughts on the universities and the NCAA's culpability in athletes being educated on financial responsibility. Finally, Darrick offers his advice to young kids when it comes to managing their finances. In the end, I offer my 'Three Takeaways for young kids in dealing with financial responsibility.

As always, thanks for listening. Take care.
