Youth sports in America are increasingly not about building virtues, but about the sports themselves, writes TPCarney. Some of it is hard-nosed pragmatism: parents seeking scholarships. Most of the problem is adults not realizing the “trick” is a trick.
hen I was a child,” St. Paul wrote to the Corinthians, “I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as child.”It’s a good meditation for parents and coaches in youth sports. Too many of the adults in charge see the game as a child should, and instead of putting away childish things, sometimes they pull out a gun.
When the fight got physical, coach Yaqub Talib, 39, pulled his gun and shot opposing coach Mike Hickmon, who later died. For it all to work, the adults need to be in on the “joke” here. We keep score, we call balls and strikes and off-sides, and we prod the children to overcome their obstacles not because winning actually matters, but because it’s the pursuit of winning that draws the best out of them — who are not in on the joke.
