re: "Not Good Enough" Documentary about youth sports

I'm annoyed that kids can't be kids anymore. Growing up fall was for football, winter for basketball and spring summer was for baseball. Kids learned all 3 sports and got different skills from each one.

High school sports is a job at this point. Kids put enough pressure on themselves to get to the next level. It pisses me off that parents put pressure on kids before they are 16-17.

They don't realize either but a lot of those kids will resent the sport and their parents when they get older.

Also most of these parents weren't good enough when they were high schoolers. So they project their "lack of effort to be good enough" onto their kids. Most former high level players wish travel ball would cool down. There just is no alternative unfortunately.
