Our goal for the Educate to Navigate initiative, is to work together to bring life back to youth basketball. From coaches, to parents, to athletes, we all play a part in creating a healthy environment for kids to play sports. The notion that an athlete can receive a college scholarship for their athletic achievements is ruining youth sports, because to put it bluntly, it's just not that likely. Youth basketball should be about the game, the players, the competition, the skills, and the sportsmanship– not for the farfetched idea that it will be a ticket into college. Many different factors contribute to the negative effects we are seeing now in scholastic basketball, but it's up to all of us to fix it.
