Let’s bring sportsmanship
back to our fields,
courts, and areas.
Everyone who has been a part of youth athletics in some capacity has a “story.” For some, it is witnessing parents relentlessly screaming at their 8-year old child who is not performing to their standards. For others it may be parents criticizing the skills of a player that is not their own child, often done in a demeaning manner.
Or, it could simply be the forcefulness of a coach asking a child to specialize in a sport by the age of 6, or insist that a 16 year old prioritize their sports talent over their education.
Deteriorating sportsmanship standards in youth athletics has become much too frequent and drastic. This a negative trend that must stop and inappropriate behavior needs to be curbed.
