FIXING AMERICA'S SPORTS
Here are two articles on what is wrong with American's approach to sports development. In the Jim Litke article says it will take more $$$$ to entice these players to kick the world's rear end. He says that this is the fast way to get it done. I don't agree with this approach. But in the article Michael Jordan says that it is the amount of games and practices that may have to be addressed. Also tv highlights have been blamed. Pete Thamel from the New York Times says the whole youth structure needs to be addressed. You will have to register for the NYT story, but it is free. Brian McCormick has been making suggestions on how to improve the instruction and now people are starting to come around to his views.
