Do childrens sports help or hinder their growth? Is the time commitment
worth it in the long run? There is a risk to injury and potentially a significant
pressure to win and can cause burnout.

You can teach them how to remain confident and how to "go for it" when they're
tempted to step back and play it safe. Remind young athletes that if they experienced no
mistakes or setbacks, they likely wouldn't learn as much.
