 In an on-field interview, Frank discusses the issue of parents living vicariously through their children with HBO Real Sports Correspondent Frank Deford.
About the Episode: In today's ultra-competitive sports landscape, parents are going farther than ever to produce athletes with the ability to excel at the next level. Whether through private coaching, practicing almost nonstop, DNA testing to predict which sports a child is best suited to play or even selecting sperm donations from top athletes, parents seem willing to go as far as possible to produce children who obtain college scholarships or lucrative professional contracts. Are these parents pushing their kids to extremes, living vicariously through them or just doing everything within their power to help their children succeed? Correspondent Frank Deford investigates.
The episode epitomizes the fundamental reason that i9 Sports leagues are in existence and are sought out by parents all over the country. Parents and children are tired of the overly competitive, win-at-all-costs mentality that other leagues are promoting. i9 Sports is the the option for parents who want to provide their children with a fun atmosphere that will help them learn about sportsmanship and improve self esteem.
The episode will air through June 5th, check local listings.
