We have become too selective, too elitist, too talent-mongering as I like to say, trying to select the athletic wheat from the athletic chaff.

We should be serving the kids' needs, but there's an interesting dynamic here. There's far too many adults out there who think it's about the kids serving their needs or performing for them.

We are there to serve their needs, they are not there to serve ours. That's lost on a lot of adults.
