A compelling article in the New York Times titled All Played Out, written by an orthopedic surgeon and sports father, nails the problem with youth sports directly on the head.

Every parent of a young athlete should take a long and hard look in the mirror at why they have their children participating in sports.

The bottom line for me is that much of youth sports is no longer about kids, but about the profit-driven “youth-sports-industrial complex” and the ego-driven needs of parents.

Hey parents, time for a reset?
