Game On: How the Pressure to Win at All Costs Endangers Youth Sports and What Parents Can Do About It

In Game On, award-winning ESPN reporter Tom Farrey explores the causes and consequences of our obsession with early success in sports. The effort to sort the strong from the weak at ever-younger ages, Farrey argues, pushes too many children to the sidelines-and ultimately undermines the quality of U.S. national teams. We've conscripted our kids into a sports arms race in which individual performance trumps participation and personal growth.
