But below the radar of popular athletic culture is something that has profoundly shaped the lives of millions of Americans for the better: youth sports. A growing body of research is showing the social and economic benefits of participation in youth sports to be surprisingly large and overwhelmingly positive. Other things being equal, if a kid plays sports, he will earn more money, stay in school longer, and be more engaged in civic life.
Now, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who's coached kids, but it certainly is nice to see evidence.

Yes, but, apparently "[my] approach isn't working. The kids are not on the same page as the coaches."
