		<description><![CDATA[Really disturbing story in the latest issue of Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics &#8211; seems the number of ER visits by young athletes with concussions has gone through the roof. And experts are theorizing that it&#8217;s not just because parents and coaches are more aware of the dangers of head injuries, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether they admit it or not, I suspect most fathers of Little Leaguers live vicariously through their children. Am I projecting? Perhaps. I&#8217;ve always told myself it&#8217;s OK so long as the kid isn&#8217;t aware of the old man&#8217;s vicarious thrills. Am I rationalizing? Perhaps. Maybe I&#8217;ll get some answers tomorrow: Join us for a [...]]]></description>

A disturbing and escalating number of youth sports injuries, says Hyman, are caused by athletics-obsessed parents who push their [...]]]></description>

New York Times sports columnist George Vecsey says USA Swimming made the wrong call. Vecsey wrote: They got it backward with Michael Phelps. They suspended him from competition for three months, which means he now has [...]]]></description>

Ignore all those &#8220;misleading and erroneous&#8221; records posted online that listed the ages of some Chinese gymnasts as 14 years old. Pretend its possible for an athlete to state one year that she&#8217;s 13 and the next that she&#8217;s suddenly 16 &#8212; she just misspoke [...]]]></description>

Do you see conflicts between your high school&#8217;s academic philosophy and its athletic practices? Have you had coaches tell your kids their priorities  should be: 1) swimming (baseball, soccer, etc.), 2) sleep and 3) academics, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a tempest brewing in California High&#8217;s baseball dugout, after a San Ramon Valley family accused coaches of giving members of their year-round, non-school team prized JV and varsity positions that left other players out in the cold. In essence, coaches were playing favorites, the family charged, with players who&#8217;d paid to play. Frankly, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
