Parents are also to blame here... they have made this next generation SOFT
Here is your 112th place trophy....
Todays children are less violent, smoke less, and get pregnant less than your generation.
Children today deal with much more pressure and stress. Athletes have to specialize and work all year round to make traveling teams and get scholarship offers in 8th grade. There are more standardized tests for scholars. Social media has exposed them more to the ugly side people only show online and they can't escape social media because EVERYONE has to be on it.
I'll see your 112th place trophy and raise you a 9 year old kid who can only play one sport and has to do it all year round because that is the only chance he has to make an AAU team and have a shot at a scholarship in 3 years. He can't play in the local rec league with his best friends because that is for "losers".
