Gout Gout

In my experience, it wasn’t Little Aths that was the problem, it was some of the athletes’ parents ?

A big part of the problem.
Parents living through  their kids rather than  celebrating their progress.
But there are a whole range of other issues.
Rows of young kids bored to the teeth waiting for their race throw or jump.
The dramatic drop off rate as kids are lost to the sport in their teen years.
The sport today is a shadow of itself in the 60s and 70s
Thankfully we have a few elite who succeed.
But many a potentially good athlete has been lost to the sport.
