Some kids have already decided to quit sports

In St. Louis, less than one-fifth of all schoolage children participate in after school activities.  This includes sports and other activities such as chess, debate, and even band.  There are several factors that contribute to this - availability of programming, cost, travel distance, etc.  Specific to sports, some kids simply quit.  They don't quit because of injury or undeveloped skill.  You might be very surprised to find out why many of the kids for the following Duke University video quit sports (Email subscribers click here).



Are you surprised?  Either way, we can all do something to help maintain the fun in sports for our kids.  It starts by joining us for the St. Louis Sportsmanship Summit this Saturday, January 22 at Maryville University. We will discuss topics such as coaching leadership, sports parenting, bullying, athlete safety, and much more. Former Rams great, Aeneas Williams will deliver the keynote address and host a free autograph session beginning at 8:30 a.m. This event is free, but registration is required to attend. Breakfast will also be provided. Please click the following link to register for the St. Louis Sportsmanship Summit or call 314.345.5130. Until next time...
