Mark's Daily Apple Thursday, December 22, 2022 11:23 AM My kids are all grown up now, but from talking to friends and colleagues with younger kids, it's become clear that youth sports has become too serious. Kids compete too much and too early. They overspecialize in sports at too young an age, then get burnt out and stop loving the sport altogether. They spend too much time doing the same thing with the same movement patterns. It monopolizes any free time the kids (and rest of family) have. And, perhaps most importantly, parents are too wrapped up in it all. But it doesn't exist in a vacuum. Kids love to play sports and need to move their bodies. The foundation of all human movement is play—engaging in a broad spectrum of spontaneous moments, reacting to novel situations as they arise, associating movement with intrinsic reward and joy and pleasure. The problem is that the classic childhood culture of free play, which is how children have historically (and pre-historically) developed their ability to move through physical space and engage with the physical world, is disappearing from neighborhoods. Oftentimes the only chance a kid gets to move is by joining a competitive youth sports team. So how can you make it work without getting out of hand? How can kids engage in youth sports without burning out, getting injured all the time, and hating what used to be enjoyable? Keep it fun. They're "playing" sports, remember? Playing. Playing is fun. It's joyful. If you're enrolling your kid in a legit youth sport recreation league, make sure the emphasis is on fun. That may mean calling the coach and talking about their philosophy and their goals for the kids. Don't criticize them on the ride home. Don't badger them about missing a play or shot. If they start dreading going to practice, if they start making up excuses as to why they can't go today, then listen. Pull back. Take it easy on them. Let them play sports. If you ruin sports, you might just ruin the idea of play altogether. Delay competition as long as you can. A tale as old as time is the kid who starts a sport—maybe it's wrestling—at age 5, has a knack for it, loves it, and starts competing before long. He wins a few tournaments, does well, wins more than he loses, but then by age 10 or 11, he's lost interest. The sport he loved to play became a chore, a job, a source of stress and pressure. 10, 11, 12 year olds aren't meant to deal with that kind of stress associated with a sport they're supposed to love. Meanwhile, the kids who get into a specific sport at age 12 after having spent their younger years playing and trying a bunch of new sports all the time excel, go on to compete at a higher level. There are exceptions, of course, but I've seen this happen over and over again. Let them decide to compete. The desire to compete has to emerge from within.
