The Story of Jack of Sports
Who is the driving force behind Jack of Sports? Larry Tobin, the founder, is a proud Cornell University graduate and father of four with a lifelong passion for sports. His journey in athletics began during his youth, participating in various sports and eventually playing professional hockey in Sweden after four years of varsity hockey and earning a business degree. Larry advocates for children exploring multiple sports each season, focusing on participation over competition.
