VOLLEYBALLOGY UNcensored

A lot of what we talk about on this show can be boiled down to one key problem:  too many parents & coaches are simply confusing youth sports with the pro sports they watch on tv.  The deterioration of youth sports has actually coincided with the growth of our pro sports culture because the more we watch and idolize the coaches and athletes who play sports for a LIVING, the more we apply those ideals and expectations to our youth athletes who should be seeking to gain life skills and an entirely different set of values and qualities.  In other words, while the adults are lured further and further down the path of ‘win at all costs’ the kids are having less and less fun and often end up quitting the game or focusing on the wrong things themselves.  Listen in as the guys discuss - what may be - the most pressing issue in youth sports today and explain why the ‘less competitive’ approach may lead to more wins and on-court success in the long run, anyway…and when it matters most.
