The really bad thing is... we work these kids to death at times.. and they take it whole heartedly...they put their all into our respective sport... they run from sport to sport.. some spend 6 to 8 hours a day trying to work hard at multiple sports... We have put them in the position of picking one over another.. and we fault them.. not our "system". Instead of encouragment, we are critical. For what, working their butts off for our schools? I have seen this change over the years. I have been just as guilty as anyone of this. These young men are usually hard working and we have put them in the situation of chosing. You have basketball going year round, football going now, baseball plays spring ball, its never ending... the kids simply are forced to chose.. this wasnt the way it used to be.. it's not the way is should be... kids should be able to play a couple sports in high school.. but the never ending cycle of some sports have made it very difficult..
Just my opinion!
