  1. Yes, I think child athletes are pushed too hard, because coaches are always expecting the best from you, like one minute he wants you on one side; the next second the other. Also coaches don't seem to care about their team, they just want to win.

  2. The main idea of this article is whether or not Kids are getting pushed to hard in athletics. The authors purpose in this article is To state his opinion. The opinion I agree with is that the kids should have their own choices.Kids should be able to decide their future in athletics. -Stephen Sasala 7th grade

  5. Yes,i think child athletes are pushed too hard because all kids just want to have fun when they play sports but if they are being yelled at too much then they will lose their focus and want to quit playing sports and then their parents would feel like they have wasted their money buying sport equipment.

  7. I think that sports should be fun not work if you like a sport you should try your best at it. You should practice a lot but don't waste all your time on it. Bianca

  8. Yes athletes are pushed too hard, as a football player I see and experience it all the time. In the Spring of 2012 I had a football coach that made us practice for 4 hours (from 5:30 to 9:30). I always dreaded having to go to football practice that night. If there is a coach like that in my football league there has to be another one just like him.

  9. Well it all depends on the child. But yes I do think athletes are pushed to hard, there pushed by coaches, parents, and even friends can pressure you into a sport or physical activity. So in the end it really depends on your devotion or love for the sport.

  11. Yes,child athletes are too focused on sports instead of their education.Most children want to play a sport but you have to go to collage to get drafted.

  12. Honestly, I believe there is no right answer but if I have to vote I would say no, it's all about passion. If they are being pushed too hard then why wouldn't the child take a brake for a while or quit? If a kid joins an athletic sport,and knows he might get pushed too hard, then why would he join, because it's his passion he wants to do it no matter what might affect him while taking the risk. If a kid is in the middle of getting pushed too hard why not quit? you tell me, If they want their answer then let them ask the young athletes not us, we are not the ones who are getting pushed to hard or not, we are not the ones who should be answering? This is my opinion.
