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

A first-of-its-kind investigative book on the least examined and most important topic in sports today. Get Game On diet books 2013 for free.


Youth sports isn't just orange slices and all-star trophies anymore. It's 14-year-olds who enter high school with a decade of football experience, 9-year-olds competing for national baseball championships, 5-year-old golfers who shoot par, and toddlers made from sperm donated (for a fee) by elite college athletes. It's a year-round "travel team" in every community--and parents who fear that not making the cut in grade school will cost their kid the chance to play in high school. In short, a landscape in which performance often matters more than participation, all the way down to peewee basketball.
