Wellesley Rotary Club to host youth development expert, March 3

February 27, 2020 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Rotary Club of Wellesley will host Joe Roberts of Terriers Sports and Community Investors to discuss current challenges and opportunities in youth development, Tuesday, March 3rd, at The Wellesley College Club.

Roberts will share his perspective on the challenges faced by today’s youth including how the use of electronics and social media have resulted in decreased physical activity. Equally disturbing trends in youth sports prioritizing achievement, competition, and travel at the expense of play and community-based recreation have resulted in decreased teen participation and dramatic increases in teen obesity, anxiety, and depression.

Roberts is a lifelong Wellesley resident and graduate of The Boston University School of Management, where he was the varsity baseball captain and a Greater Boston Collegiate League All Star. Joe proudly shares he didn’t play any organized sports until he was eleven years old, enjoying his childhood playing “backyard ball” with his neighborhood friends.
