Karen's health blog about child health finds relevance in A Pitch For Justice
I came across this blog by Karen Rodwill Solomon who blogs about health related issues for children and parenting. Karen found relevance to issues in parenting and the issues raised in my book A Pitch For Justice.
She says"We have some pretty basic rules when it comes to sports – if you’re hurt, you don’t play; wear a helmet when necessary, I don’t care what your friends are doing and; if the coach is a screaming, win-at-all-costs coach, we find another one. Very simple. We are parents, we have a responsibility to teach our kids. Unfortunately, the world at large doesn’t live by those rules – injured players play, kids get concussions and even more kids sit on the bench because the coach would rather win then let everyone learn and get experience.
So what do the NFL, Soccer and the book A Pitch for Justice have in common? Responsibility, accountability and common sense."
Here is the link to the blog which does raise interesting issues that are part of reform in football and baseball and undoubtedly will filter down to how parents and coaches will deal with accountability in their own lives:
