This book says it all about youth sports and how it can affect the development and growth of a child's attitude toward sports and life in so many ways. As an elementary school secretary and mother of two sons who were very small for their age I understand how difficult and emotional it is to watch your child develop both physically and psychologically when other parents constantly remark about their small stature. I will say that by the time I finished the book I was reflecting on my own parenting during that crucial time during their development as future adults. We didn't do a bad job but had plenty of room for improvement. I will recommend this book to parents who have children interested in any sports program.
