This had to be an unintended consequence. Parents who were just trying to do the right thing for their kids by getting more “organized” sports into their communities. It has meant more travel teams, greater competition, and increased pride in our communities. But there has also emerged an underbelly to the youth sports movement. Which is unfortunate, because, after all, we are just doing for the kids.
But as the youth sports movement continues to evolve (or devolve, depending upon your point of view), the fact of the matter is that the costs for families who want to participate are escalating at an unprecedented rate. Hockey families will tell you first hand that “ice time” costs were almost incomprehensible AND that they were often forced to take their kids to practice at 10:00 pm! Many of us brushed it off, since hockey seemed to almost be a privileged sport with equipment costs that were through the roof.

For many of the closest observers of collegiate athletics, the hypocrisy of the NCAA’s new proposal that would grant student-athletes an extra $2000 a year in additional financial aid, while universities rake in billions and coaches pocket $10s of millions, reveals just how unbalanced the “amateur” sports industry really is.
Industry? Yea…industry! We just read about Urban Meyer signing on with Ohio State football for nearly $7 million a year, while the Big Ten Network’s Web site is adorned with advertising from Dr. Pepper and Buick. All this while a year ago, Ohio State’s star quarterback was sanctioned by the NCAA for selling his Rose Bowl ring and getting discounted tattoos. The irony here is that it was Pryor’s prowess on the field that drove fans to the stadiums, Web sites, and television to drink those sodas, purchase those vehicles, and, most importantly, donate to the alumni funds of these land-grant institutions. Imagine if Pryor was allowed to stay, what the television ratings (advertising rates) would have been.

Steve Jobs left, not only a legacy of technology, but some valuable lessons derived from his experience as well.
With the passing of Steve Jobs, many are now reflecting on the true impact this man has made on all our lives. There are many who compare him to Edison and Ford, as the great inventor of our time, and yet it all seems shallow when you consider the guideposts by which Mr. Jobs guided his life.
The iPhone and iPad will continue to be upgraded, tweaked, and adapted to fit the demands of the loyal Apple customers out there, but Steve Jobs offered lasting and universal philosophies on life that will remain unfettered regardless of where technology takes us.
Here is Steve Jobs’ 2005 Commencement Speech from Stanford University, where he shares just three, but profound stories of his life. The entire key to all this is that his caste in life occurred as a consequence of his brilliance, but also because of the circumstances around himself.

There is simply no denying it…kids today are light-years ahead of where we adults were in almost every facet of their lives…intellect, street-smarts, social graces. You name it.
But one thing that has remained fairly constant from generation to generation is HOW we are motivated. PLEASE NOTE…I’m not saying “What” motivates us, but “How” we are motivated.
At the Manto Sports Group, we still believe in today’s youth, primarily because of this simple reality…there are plenty of ways to help motivate our youth and to help them “get to the next level.”
For a great primer on the fundamentals of motivation, we offer you THIS ARTICLE FOR REVIEW.
And if you would like to find out more about how Manto Sports Group can affect your kids in a positive manner, then just send us an email at jeff@mantosportsgroup.com or call 215-788-9358.
