The most convincing piece of information is the fact that it is impossible for kids to learn from their mistakes, because even if they do make mistakes, they still get a trophy. This defeats the purpose of playing a sport, of trying something new, because they are rewarded and told that they are special and can't make mistakes.

I found compelling evidence in the NBC article "Pushing too Hard too Young." Studies and surveys showed that many parents are pushing their kids to excel in sports. Many parents were seeking college scholarships and high school praise for their kids. These parents make their kids work beyond what is acceptable. The affects of this pressure are seen when they show less enthusiasm and drive. Kids should be able to push themselves to be great, not the parents. Injuries pose a risk when pushing a child to the physical and emotional limits.

The piece of evidence that I found most surprising was people were giving out the same size trophies to kids who won and kids who got last place. I know why they did it(to make them feel as if they did just as well) but the kids who put in the time and effort to improve and win didnt get rewarded at all! It can make them feel as if nothing they do will set them apart.

# data[].attributes.body
