Found this article on youth sports leagues very interesting. Think it is slightly over generalized/sensationalism, but for the most part I agree.

Snippet from the Article:
"Here's one thing we're doing: We're creating a class of kids who are being labeled with terms such as "elite" and "competitive" and "best of the best." They're being worshipped by their parents and coaches, who keep statistics to post online and send photographs to the local paper. It's organized insanity."
