There are a growing number of young athletes having serious problems in their teens and twenties. There have been many unexpected deaths during competitions. Will this new business, tutoring very young children cause the problem to worsen? Is it really worth a cheap plastic trophy or added profits for some otherwise failed trainer to put kids at that much risk? Wouldn't they grow up to be more normal if you turned off their TV and computer and had them play with other kids?

I don't know if you are aware of it, but there was one such death today in New York. I think it will be a very serious health risk, butting abnormal stress and strain on the bodies of little children.

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/news?slug=ap-run--marathontrials-death&prov=ap&type=lgns 28 years old marathon runner, died I think sports trainers for kids is a waste of time. If you're in high school and aiming toward a scholarship, that I can understand, but otherwise, what's the point? My neighbor down the street has a trainer for her 11yr son for soccer so he can make the state team in the spring. He trains with this coach 3 days a week for 3hrs each session and 1 session on Saturday for 90ms. That's 10.5 hours a week that can be dedicated to school, spending time with family and friends and doing other activities. The kid is happy playing for the town and likes (not loves) soccer. He's being pushed for no reason. Will that lead to health risks in the future? I don't know for sure. I think the extra stress and pushing yourself over the limits will do something to a kid over time, but I'm not a docotr. I am though a teacher and have a degree in child development I know that this will definitely have an impact on his school work and his decision making skills. What will be more important to him in the future? At his age he should be playing outside, riding bikes with friends, enjoying school etc, not being pushed to play state soccer at 11, 12yrs old.
