More About This Book

Overview

Every year, more than 3.5 million children under age fifteen require medical treatment for sports injuries, nearly half of which are the result of simple overuse. Journalist Mark Hyman investigates the evolution of youth sports from mere games to full-on quests to turn children into tomorrow's superstar athletes by pushing them beyond physical and emotional limits. Opening up a crucial discussion about the perils of youth sports culture today, Hyman offers the answers we need.

    A Must for Parents of Child or Teenage Athletes

    Hyman pulls no punches, using himself and his son as an example of the way a parent's good intentions and a child's desire to play can go horribly wrong. Every parent who thinks their child is the next Michael Jordan, Mia Hamm, Tim Teebow, or A-Rod should be required to read this book before their child gets back on the field or court. Hyman convincingly lays out the case that youth sports have gone professional and frequently have more to do with the adults footing the bills than the children playing them. Touching on irresponsible coaches and parents, over-acheiving kids, doctors whose voices are ingnored by parents who "shop for a doc" until they get the answer they want, and blowing apart the myth that your child is going to get an athletic shcolarship or that having one actually pays for college, Hyman argues that we're out of control and then gives examples of youth sports the way they should be played...for FUN and character. The lowering of age in surgery statistics and the number of life-affecting overuse injuries will frighten you, the parents and coaches will make you ill. If you see yourself in these pages, it's not too late to change things. Highly recommended.
