@heykayadams What is his favorite poker hand!

@EWood70 I think being drafted/signed as rookie to Buffalo really helps young kids like yourself save money. Being drafted to Miami, LA, and NY has to be a little more difficult.

The epidemic is this...
Kids aren't allowed to move:
From the moment they're born, they get swaddled and put on their backs , get stuck in mechanical swings, baby saucers, and walkers...

They play on playgrounds that are neither challenging to their motor skills or fun while at the same time getting chased around by adults because God forbid they fall and scrape a knee.

They get ipads and phones that put them in a 2D kphotic trance for hours at a time while while simultaneously sucking the nervous energy needed to move right out of their still developing bodies.

In school they get to sit for hours and hours on end trying to learn...recess, art, music and phys ed get cut for more classroom learning time because really smart people that know little about child development said so...

Those who are lucky to play sports get dupped into thinking div 1, and pro sports are on the horizon. Let's put all our time and effort into one activity they say... further limiting great variety that playing multiple sports brings to a growing body.

Late bloomers come along and get weeded out of sports for the more athletic, naturally bigger kids. We got kids quitting sports in droves.

All this non-movement leads to a nation with poor coordination, poor movement skills, injury, and poor long-term health.

So I don't feel bad having a program for kids that gets them to learn to move, exercise, and have fun because somebody has to do it. Run, hop, jump, throw, catch, dive, climb, and roll.
Helping one kid or a million doesn't matter. It's worth it.

NIL, portal, coaches salaries, transfers...can all be traced to 9u teams with walk up music, team moms, Dads in turfs, giant gear bags being carried by parents, and t-ball all star teams.

Travel Sports is a money making machine. Sad part is many are proud of this. Those who victimize families who have Zero benefit from their child playing on a “11-yr old Elite Travel Team” - kids w/ low skill level should NOT be on travel teams. This means 85-90% should NOT be.

Story on the latest sign of youth sports culture:

Our 10U baseball team played a game yesterday. Opposing parents chirping at our 3rd base coach. Opposing parents yelling at umpires after calls that don’t go their way, adding “it’s us vs the umps!”

Opposing player gets plunked with a baseball in the back while stealing second, is on the ground in obvious pain, and his own coaches/parents are screaming at him to get up and toughen up. Nobody went out to check on him.

Opposing tough-guy coaches arguing calls non-stop. Screaming at their own players for not listening to instruction. After the game (a loss for them), those coaches spent 10 minutes arguing with the umpires & tournament organizer while their own players waited patiently in the outfield for the postgame meeting. That meeting included forcing them to run a lap after a long day of baseball (they’d played a doubleheader).

As our team/families drove away from the fields, their team was still in the dugout, as the head coach laid into them for their performance.

This is 10U travel baseball.

This is youth sports.

You wonder why kids burn out from the game or turn out to be bad adults. The cycle feeds itself.

The youth sports culture needs good people to stand in the gap, and stand up for the kids. Each weekend is a wake-up call to just how bad it has gotten, and it’s only getting worse.
