CHARLOTTE — Panthers quarterback Bryce Young’s father has written a book about the family’s journey from youth sports to the NFL.
Craig Young is a therapist who has worked in the mental health field for 25 years.
In “Growing up Young,” he shares the double-edged sword of youth sports. He says sports can build resilience and discipline, or strain relationships within the family. He shares a faith-based approach to navigating both wins and losses.
Bryce Young wrote the forward for the book.
Craig is hosting a book release event in Ballantyne Saturday. It starts at 7 p.m. at Haraz Coffee and will feature a book reading, live question-and-answer session, and a meet and greet.
Tickets are available here.
