"Mom! Do I really have to go to the game?" All across this country, an ever-increasing number of children are dropping out of organized sports, not because they don't like to play, but because the system they play in is failing them. Written by one of this country's leading advocates of youth sports, Why Johnny Hates Sports is the first book to look at the growing problems inherent in the way we introduce our kids to sports. In this timely book, Fred Engh examines the unsettling state of youth sports in America. He explains how and why many of the original goals of the youth leagues have been affected by today's win-at-all-costs attitude. Most important, he provides a wide variety of proven solutions to each and every one of the problems covered.
