It’s All About the Kids
People who run
youth leagues and other organizations live by the motto that “it’s all about
the kids” Yet, how many of the decisions that are made are really about the
kids in the league and not about the board of directors’ personal interests,
friends or their own families?
Is it really all about the
kids?
There are so
many problems with the way that youth leagues are run. Nearly every board
has some guy who could be a public relations maven good enough to convince
the world that a ranting movie star isn’t anti-Semitic or that some other
star is a great guy. These clever people are fabulous at the politics
involved in manipulating everybody around to convince them that what they’re
doing is “all about the kids”, but in the end the kids are always the ones
who suffer. Not until it’s too late do most people have a chance to see
what’s really going on and, even then, many still are believers. It’s
imperative that board members and the community begin to see through what’s
said and stopping bad things from happening because it does need to be all
about the kids. |
