A study by the Anti-Specialization In National Interested Nation's
Educators (ASININE) has concluded that specialization in sports is
damaging the world's children. ASININE looked at children in 100
different countries and determined if nothing is done to change the
current amount of soccer being played in other countries there is a
risk of burnout, repetitive injuries and lawsuit.
A class action law firm looking into specialization in sports has taken Van Persie of Arsenal’s advice saying they should sue the Dutch Government for building little pitches all over Holland. The same law firm is looking into a lawsuit against the Peace Corps who have planted trees in many countries around the world charging them with supplying the poorest kids in the world sticks for goals. They may even take on the military for assisting in raising funds for soccer balls in Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems the furor is over the idea of specialization by child athletes and the Anti - Specialization Group ASININE is leading the charge. "The risk of inaction, against too much action in soccer, is too great, we could burnout an entire generation of children and cause repetitive injuries to many of them if we do not demand children play less soccer," stated ASININE. It is rumored CYSA will take part as an expert witness due to some experience in the field of burnout. CYSA is a reported leader in the field of non-repetitive injuries claiming a success rate of 98%. CYSA, if asked, would probably have claimed, "Except for players who insist on playing all year we find there are no repetitive injuries in most of our players. We keep them on a very limited soccer program with most players competing and practicing only two months of soccer per year. This combined with the nine step program and the swerve seem to turn players away from soccer very quickly. We believe this model to be the most successful." ASININE believes these sort of groups are at the forefront of a new movement stating, "They have masterfully put together a season calendar which encourages soccer to be played by most players for only 2-3 months a year. This program keeps kids from practicing too much which helps them never excel and therefore never develop a great excitement for the sport. This combination is great because by encouraging kids to quit early they never reach the burn out phase. " ASININE has contacted a class action law firm to look into a possible lawsuit against the makers of soccer balls, socks and even plastic milk jugs. " Look at many third world countries and the amount of soccer those children are playing" said ASININE Study leader Bob Smith," There are children playing 5 to 10 hours a day in the streets and they are at risk of burning out or developing repetitive injuries." Bob added, "If plastic milk jugs were not available to these kids - they would not have goals to score in, if they did not have soccer balls - they could not play soccer and if they did not have socks they would not be able to fashion a ball out of socks and old clothes." "No longer can the milk companies, the sock companies and the soccer ball companies take advantage of the world's youth by encouraging them to play so much soccer," he exclaimed. Many experts outside the US disagree however and think the study is being driven by a dedicated group of baseball, football and basketball experts in the United States. They say ASININE conclusions are false pointing to soccer crazy countries as proof playing too much soccer does not damage young children. The ASININE reply was, " The myth of Pele, Maradona or Zidane playing all day is exactly that - a myth. They could not have played while in school or doing homework, what about school dances, basketball or TV? To suggest they did not play Gameboy, X Box, or even lawn darts is asinine. This type of disinformation is exactly what we are fighting against." More as the story develops…... |
