[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recent article in this s subject: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/11/income-inequality-explains-decline-youth-sports/574975/ Too much money in kids’ sports. [/quote] "the American system of youth sports—serving the talented, and often rich, individual at the expense of the collective—has taken a metal bat to the values of participation and universal development." No. Stupid. Nothing is stopping you from participating in rec sports. [/quote] You missed the author's point and for me, it's the biggest take home. The only way to get ahead in today's youth sport world is with money. PEriod. Of course you have to have some talent but in soccer especially, he who has money will succeed. I've seen it, I've talked to youth coaches in Bethesda who went through the system, played in college and are now coaching, etc. It's the sad reality. We are the only country in the world where it's like that.[/quote]
