Sports Training Has Begun for Babies and Toddlers - NYTimes.com

I thought that starting kids in sport specific training for 4 and 5 year olds was ridiculous. What happened to parents playing with their own kids.

The Problem with Training Coaches

Many youth coaches simply will not do the training. We struggle getting youth couches as it is, so adding more training may not help. It will be difficult to make this training mandatory!

in reference to: Football Too Dangerous? NFL Studies Head Injuries - TIME (view on Google Sidewiki)

Will we go the way of the Roman's?

This is where we should really be concentrating our efforts. I guess the real question is why do the high school and younger athletes not report their injuries? Do parents not understand the consequences of youth athletes playing with such injuries? Where does the education start?

Many parents tend to push their children beyond what they should for the "Glory" of the game or getting into college. Most of these athletes will never see a college football except from the sidelines.

in reference to:

"High school football players alone suffer 43,000 to 67,000 concussions per year, though the true incidence is likely much higher, as more than 50% of concussed athletes are suspected of failing to report their symptoms."
