Give Sport Back To The Kids | Matt Young | TEDxGrandviewHeights

In Give Sport Back To The Kids, Matt Young explains how parents, coaches and administrators have contributed to the 70% attrition rate among the 40 million North American kids who register to play a sport each year. By transforming the joy of playing sport into the chore of working sport, kids have responded to the adult-induced pressures, demands and abuse by dropping out of sport in droves. Many kids have chosen sedentary lifestyles that are negatively affecting their physical, mental and social development.
Matt’s idea-worth-spreading is that we must stop this mass exodus by kids from sports by putting their wants and needs before those of adults.

Matt has addressed an important problem we are facing in the sporting world. Instead of enhancing self esteem, determination and collaboration we are ending up making children and youth either lose the joy of playing sports or give up sports. Well done!!

Well done. Thank you for calling out the industry. The Flintstones called it out decades ago with one the best exchange of all time; "What kids need are the fundamentals" "No, what kids need is the FUN."

[ROBERTWILLIAMS-kkmz]

What a brilliant talk. Thank you Matt for your authenticity and commitment to kids.
