Wow, if someone did that with sports in mind, they must really be thinking well ahead of the average parent.

This subject has been hotly debated here and in many homes and ballparks around the good "ole USA" I would suspect. The phenomenon was given an entire Chapter in the book "The Outliers."

I've witnessed it first hand via many parents and have gotten more than a "sniff" of encouragement from a school and or school system(s) in these parts to hopefully bolster athletic success for all parties. To each his own and for many if the ends justify the means .... and so forth.
