Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 879836, member: 363"] At the end of the day, the best athletes will usually rise to the top as they get older. I can already see it, whose parents push, whose don't , what kids are just well naturally more athletic than others. People get too worked up about nonsense. Let the kids have fun, push them to help a kid up when they get knocked on their butt, teach them it's OK to want to win but don't be a dink about it, teach them to not quit or blame teammates for a loss etc. Teach them a good pass is just as good as a goal. So many great lessons to learn but too many arseholes who couldn't play a lick as a kid in control on a lot of this. TEACH THEM TO TRY AND BE GOOD PEOPLE, that is what youth sports is all about. I can see high school sports as different but these entry level K-8 are beyond absurd on so many levels. It's just mind numbig to me. What IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? [/QUOTE]
