The possible injuries that could leave a child with a persistent injury from playing a game is frightening. Lingering pain and the inability to do certain types of everyday tasks could limit their choices in careers and hobbies, something that no one at that age could fully comprehend or appreciate. This concern is shared by several professional athletes, who have stated during interviews that as a parent they would not let their children play in the sports they have made a career of playing for fear of those injuries. Some athletes have even said that if they had fully understood those risks themselves when younger, they wouldn’t have started playing when they had. Statements like these, coming from people who spend years in those sports seeing and dealing with severe injuries should carry considerable weight in helping shape the future of these sports…

In the article from Corliss Bean et al. “Understanding How Organized Youth Sports May Be Harming Individual Players within the Family Unit: A Literature Review,” the authors discuss the risks involved with youth playing sports including the psychological and physical risks. Recently youth have been specializing in certain sports at a younger age which has been a controversial issue because of the negative outcomes associated with early specialization. Furthermore early specialization has been connected to lower self-esteem, higher drop-out rate, increased psychological stress and increased chance of injuries. One of the most common injuries due to early specialization in sports is overuse injuries which are a result of repetitive specific movement that cause significant loss of sport time because of lengthy recovery times.…

In Jacqueline Stenson’s article she shows how sports can be bad for children and how they can get pressured to do something they don’t want to. The author says that “One of the most comprehensive surveys to date, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, found that from 1997 to 1999 sports and recreation-related injuries were more common nationwide than injuries from traffic accidents” (“Pushing too hard too young,” 2004). This illustrates that there are way too many injuries during sport games and practices during those years, and there still are today, and they will probably be there in the future. This can be very bad for our future of sports because many of the pro teams might have less adults playing in them because of injuries. Also Stanford Children’s Health tells how to many children get hurt every year from playing sports or activities and gives statistics on them.…

The Majority of high school and youth football games and practices are played without a medical personnel present. The ones that do have a medical personnel cannot be present at all games. Half of them are not even fully trained. More than half of 7 million sports injuries are sustained by youth as young as 5(“Play it Safe” 1-2).

This paper analyzes published articles that report on the results from research of sports injury occurring at all levels of participation, the psychological impact of injury that varies in involvement with sports, and for the reasoning of athletes that experience positive or negative affects of recovery. Weiss (2003) reviewed, “that sport injuries are among the most common injuries and therefore present a significant public health problem”. Heil (2015) states, “Injuries can hinder performance and negatively impact athletes’ mental health and well-being, including: threats to self-esteem, social isolation and motivational demands associated with rehabilitation”. Therefore, injury is one of the most arduous physical and psychological tests confronting athletes. Though an injury deprives athletes of the opportunity to compete and strive toward their goals, it has the benefit of requiring athletes to look at their sports participation in a new light.…
