[quote=Anonymous]I think this generation of parents has lost the plot. They have ruined youth sports. It used to be that kids could change sports with the seasons. It's much healthier for students to switch it up every few months. Not just to avoid repetitive stress injuries, but to develop other skills, new friends, etc. But this generation of parents is so performance-fixated that they force their children to choose one sport around the age of 8. And they'll need to play this sport and only this sport for 12 months every year for the next ten years. This is terrible for 99 percent of children. Parents have only themselves to blame for the abysmal state of youth sports in this country. Their hyper-fixation on performance is toxic and completely at odds with healthy childhoods. [/quote]
