Unintended
Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports, by Jerry
Norton, helps make sense of today's youth sports and how to set it
back on a course toward fun.
Ponte
Vedra, FL, USA (January 31, 2016) -- Jerry Norton's Unintended
Consequences: When Adults took the fun out of Youth Sports is a look
at the deplorable situation in youth sports through the 84-year old
eyes of photojournalist, youth coach, referee and league
administrator Jerry Norton. Norton makes the case that youth sports
have become more about winning than playing and more about adult egos
than kids' enjoyment and participation.
According
to Coach Jerry, the evidence is clear and the verdict is in.
Adults--whether malicious or well-meaning--are deemed guilty of
hijacking youth sports' most noble and worthy objective--fun.
Win-at-all-cost coaches and demanding parents with unrealistic
expectations are responsible for horrific acts of violence as well as
untold incidents of child abuse that have become common-place in
youth sports. The long-time youth sports activist offers constructive
criticisms as well as solutions intended to make kids' sports fun
again for all participants.
Stephen
G (Jerry) Norton is the father of three sons and a retired aerospace
engineer who spent nearly 60 years as a volunteer coach, referee, and
league administrator and president. He is now a sports
photojournalist covering youth, high school and professional sports.
He has coached youth baseball, football, swimming, tennis and girls'
softball and has conducted clinics for wheelchair bound and Special
Olympic tennis players. He is the founder and president of Junior
Development League Football.
