In this book, Fred Engh examines the various reasons why more and more youth are dropping out of sport at a younger age. He dives deep into detail examining why this happens blaming it on overeager parents, the win-at-all-costs mentality, coaches, administrators, and even the media. In addition, he proposes changes to youth sport to stop this issue from continuing and calls for a return to fair play, teamwork, and true enjoyment of the game. This is non-fictional book written by Fred Engh.

He supports his claim by providing evidence of how sports are beneficial to kids, explaining the problems within sports, and extending the importance of what creates a positive response from sports. Gould’s purpose is to inform coaches, principals, and parents about what makes sports beneficial and how to prevent the problems in order to allow kids to learn and become better citizens. He establishes an informative tone for coaches, principals, and parents.

She claims that when all the “adult standards” are imposed on the children they are not valuable.

This notion is supported by Dr. Daniel Gould, who believes that “Children who participate in sports have increased educational aspirations, closer ties to school and increased occupational aspirations in youth” (1). People against the funding of high school sports think that parents and society are placing more emphasis than ever before and, “[P]ressures athletic personnel to deviate on winning from the athlete- centered educational and personal development mission” (Gould 1). However, athletes strive to do better in class. Michael Lorenc, a high school basketball coach believes that “those who seem to have an overwhelming schedule where they’re playing maybe multiple sports, and high academic schedules, they tend to do better than those who don’t do anything extracurricularly” (Gray). Balancing sports and school makes athletes put more effort into keeping up grades while playing the sport they love.

Of the 11 dimensions’: positive team dynamics, trying hard, and positive coaching were listed as the three most important factors of fun. Another figure that was calculated was the importance of playing time and this resulted in “80% of players, 93% of parents, and 94% of coaches indicated that playing time was very-to-extremely important to youth sport competition” (Visek 4). On page 6 and 7 of the article, they list the 11 dimensions and the 81 fun-determinals, and under the category of trying hard; competing, working hard, and setting and achieving goals were highly chosen by the subjects of the survey. The study establishes a fundamental point of enjoyment in youth sport, but also reveals how competition is important in the development of a child. The results contribute to both my and Klosterman’s arguments on competition in youth sports.

Participation trophies diminish the meaning of winning and produce a lack of motivation among our youth today. Though rewarding all players with a trophy is counteractive, positive reinforcement is not. Positive reinforcement is key in the process of encouraging adolescents to continue to pursue the sport they are playing. The winners should receive a trophy to endorse their hard work and accomplishment; those who lost, but kept playing, should receive a non-materialistic item such as a pizza party or ice cream to acknowledge their determination when playing the game.   Without loss, there is no motive to

One article about the pros and cons of youth sports states that many athletes are pressured overly about their sport performance, when young athletes step on the field to play a sport, their coach, parents, team and school pressurize them to perform well and succeed in the game and due to this sports psychologists are in great need (Lindholm). This evidence suggests that young athletes receive undue pressure about performing well and might have to go to a psychologist about their anxiety as an athlete. In the same article Lindholm reminds parents that coaches may not pay attention to a young athlete’s mental well being, “it would be naïve to expect all coaches to have your child’s psychological interests at heart. Too often, a win-at-all-costs mentality devastates young athletes” (Lindholm).

On my trophy shelf inside my bedroom, there are two participation awards. The rest are awards that I or my team have won.

During an Institute for the Study of Youth Sports analysis, studies showed that, “outstanding high school coaches who were recognized for the character and citizenship building contributions to players we found that these individuals were highly successful (winning over 70% of their games)” (Gould). While students centered on playing hard and showing sportsmanship, they were able to win a majority of their games, instead of just focusing on winning. Thus, students can grow in character when playing high school sports. To emphasize this, youth athletes develop goal-oriented mindsets during the season. These goals do not have to include winning or outperforming everyone else on the team, but can be set for an athlete to simply improve their performance in one specific area.

“In the U.S., about 30 million children and teens participate in some form of organized sports, and more than 3.5 million injuries each year” claims Stanford Children’s Health.

The media teaches people simply that sports leads to horrific injuries and can cause stress, but what the mainstream media hardly discusses are the great benefits of competitive sports.

Children experience more harmful negative impacts, rather than beneficial positive ones, such as being at a constant risk of severe injury, wanting to opt out of sports early, and being under high levels of stress and anxiety. These impacts could lead to children being injured for an extended amount of time, children being inactive and unfit later in life, children dropping out of school, and many other catastrophic circumstances that children should not have to put up with. The opposing side suggests that children who participate in competitive sports experience positive impacts, such as staying healthy and in shape, and having positive psychological benefits. In some instances, these impacts may be true, however families with a child athlete opted for fast food, ready-made meals more than those of families who did not have a child athlete. Also, while competitive sports provide some psychological benefits, it has also been proven that they can cause stress, anxiety, and ultimately, attrition for the young athlete.
