[quote=Anonymous]Dragging (paying thousands of dollars in lodging, airfare, food, rental cars ect…) for 8-9-10&11 year olds to play in Elite quasi ‘National. Championships’ can be e very damaging to motivating them to play hard in the future. Honestly, it is all down hill from there. You are essentially, making your kids peak too early. It is a very natural phenomenon that happens to elite athletes. Athletes who participate in something so big, tend to fizzle out and lose motivation as they have reached the pinnacle if their sport. Clubs that stage their teams to these events are not looking into the long-term well being of these players. They are only looking for club recognition to get more kids to sign up. And the clubs that utilize lots of high level guest players only care about wins. From a sports psychology standpoint, these events seem to hinder development more than they help for these ages.[/quote]
