Book Description
After being questioned by a parent about how participation in sports affects children, Robert Griffin examined the impact of sports on children and reflected upon his own experiences with sports. Griffin asserts that sports is best assessed as it relates to the central issues children and adolescents confront while growing up - the agenda of the childhood, as he calls it. Griffin's explorations lead him to an examination of schools, professional sports, race and class, and the popular media as they affect children's interest and involvement in sports. He also investigates the phenomena of achievement (and not just in sports) and good parenting.
