Families plan birthdays, reunions and weddings around their children's games.
God forbid they were to miss a single one of them. In many towns across the U.S., a trend of strong emphasis is being placed on youth athletics and even more on performance.

They help the child deal with success in a positive and humble manner and at the same time teach them to deal with loss and failure in a controlled and supportive environment.
