Have parents ruined youth sports for kids? Jon Solomon, editorial director of the The Aspen Institute Sports & Society Program: “I think most parents want to do what’s right. A lot want off the treadmill, when they start to see how much it costs and how much travel there is for some programs, but they don’t know how. I don’t think many of them even know what questions to ask. If you don’t know what other options look like, you end up kind of going along with the crowd. They think, ‘If I don’t keep up, little Johnny is going to fall behind.’ We’re trying to educate people and give them more information.”
