As a peer and I reflect on our various athletic experiences during our school years, we realized the disconnect between the importance and value that we placed on our athletic in-devours and the youth that we coach today. The youth of today seem to be less motivated and devoted to their school teams; lack of attendance, motivation and the tendency to give low priority to school sports teams. Where did this disconnect stem from? and  how do we as educators re-vamp our programs to the level that they once were?
