Consistently, large numbers of young boys and girls sign up to play in neighborhood youth gaming alliances across the nation. From hockey to Little League Baseball, numerous young people long to one day play under the lights, in a packed stadium, in front of lots of screaming fans. This is what many guys would consider living the “dream.” Tragically, for most young people, that dream will never become a reality. This leaves us wondering: what is the real role of youth games in the eyes of the public? Is it accurate to say that it is just a matter of distinguishing the select few linked to sporting significance and eliminating the rest? On the other hand, is there an essential value for young people in playing, regardless of the possibility that a child cannot make it a profession? As a child I never realized the huge impact sports had on me when I grew up in a "country". town” called Chouteau, Oklahoma where you were either born to be a farmer or “Amish.” For me sport is more than just picking up a ball or a bat and playing, it's about the love you have for the game. Sport for me is an outlet or a stress reliever when life gets tough. My brother had anger issues as a child, so my mother put him in soccer to vent some of that anger on the field. Some would distinguish the value of youth sports by their ability to instill strong, positive characteristics in boys and girls. Sports can help a young person learn key life lessons, such as how to engage in life, move forward, be a cooperative person, set goals, learn healthy habits, and follow standards. Practicing sports shows children and young adults how to fight in this present reality. As they grow, they will have to deal with rivalry in school… middle of the paper… individual complexities that create well-being, for example, diabetes, coronary heart disease, pain and remarkable growth. As critical as it is to encourage young people to participate in sport for its commitment to reducing disease and advancing health, it is also essential to help overweight and obese children gain the confidence to take up or return to sport. According to Eric Demeulenaere, “Priest and colleagues conclude that sports policy development is an understudied aspect of health promotion; however, developing policies regarding sports clubs has been found to provide health benefits to the wider community.” (43) Thus, in order for young people and young people to meet the suggestion to be interested in moderate or intensive physical movements no less than four times a week, game projects must have open doors for all contestants to practice hard.
