Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Laura Sessions Stepp covers adolescents for the Washington Post.  She’s the mother of a teenage boy and the author of “Our Last Best Shot: Guiding Our Children Through Early Adolescence.”  She tells Jim Fleming that sports are good for kids and that all kids need something to be passionate about.  Athletic success can be especially helpful for girls, who deserve better than hand-me-down uniforms and inconvenient practice times.
