Kids' sports
Description
As parents aggressively manage sports teams and push children to struggle for status and glory, the old-time values of fun and fair play have been severely undermined. What is fueling this overriding emphasis on competition and excellence at all costs? This program scrutinizes the current state of organized youth sports, focusing on the lessons that kids are really being taught. Experts include Professor Sandra Hoffereth, coauthor of a landmark study of how children spend their time; sports psychologist Dr. Michael Simon; Rick Wolff, Sports Illustrated correspondent; and the National Director of the American Sports Education Program.
