What is the deal with youths involved in sports today. I'm not sure if it's the computer generation just being lazy or what, but I went to a little league baseball game over the weekend and it seems that the quality of skill possessed by kids involved in sports is on the rapid decline. I watched two games in the 12 to 13 year old age division and out of the four teams I watched there was MAYBE two quality ball players in the group.
I've noticed this in all youth sports, to include highschool football. There are maybe one or two quality kids on a team and as for the rest, you might as well suit up the cheer leaders and put them on the field.
Is this just the trend in this area, or is there an actual lack of atheletic skill brought on by either the computer/video game era, or is this lack of skill because of parent child relationships and the lack of fathers taking their kids out and teaching them the basics of whatever game they choose to play????
