Letter: Youth sports should leave kids feeling better about selves
I had the opportunity to attend a lecture recently regarding how youth sports and its present structure and emphasis impact the children that participate (Too much pressure on youth sports, Easton Journal, April 7).
It was conducted here in Easton at the Richardson Olmsted School and the speaker was Bob Bigelow, an ex-MBA basketball player who has made a study of how youth sports programs can have an adverse effect on children participating, citing concerns regarding an over emphasis on winning, existence of elite teams predicated on perceived talent, and questionable behavior among some coaches and parents.
The lecture was organized by Miriam Keen, an Easton resident with a daughter participating in local youth sports, who deserves a word of thanks for taking the initiative to provide Mr. Bigelow with a local forum to convey his ideas. Miriam has provided all of us with children playing youth sports an opportunity to initiate a much needed dialogue regarding the effect, both positive and negative, of Eastons youth sports programs on our own kids.
