Kids Can't Just Go Outside Anymore. He's Fixing That.

Prince Casende grew up playing in the cul-de-sac until the lights came on. No ride needed. No registration. Just kids outside, together, in the neighborhood. He doesn't see that for kids today and he built Tribe Sports Foundation to bring it back. In this episode, Prince breaks down the model he's built in Orlando, Florida: instead of asking families to drive across town to a field, Tribe Sports brings the program directly to neighborhoods, churches, and schools. It's youth sports access redesigned from the ground up. We get into why he chose MLS GO, what authentic gear actually does for a kid's sense of identity, how RCX coaching resources solve one of the hardest problems in youth sports, and why he made a same-day decision to expand from one sport to three. Plus the moment a shy kid tells you they had a blast. That's why he does it.
