[quote=Anonymous]I think the point some are missing here is that all the benefits of playing sports in HS may be cancelled out by the HS coach acting like the sport is the only activity the kid can and should be doing. Why should a high schooler who has zero college prospects give up all other extracurriculars for the sport? That does not serve the kid well at all. This is a separate issue from all that has to be done earlier in life to even have a chance at making the HS team at some large public schools, but sort of related. Kids end up not having time to pursue other things they may like and be very good at, which could be even more beneficial to them on the long run, because of the way adults have ruined sports. It’s really a shame and it didn’t used to be this way. There are only so many hours in a day and a week. Something has to give when coaches are demanding so much of kids’ time. All so they can boast a winning record. [/quote]
