Why the Attrition?
This Ain’t Fun No More
Kirshnit CE, Ham M, Richards MH. Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1989; 18:601-615
Why the Attrition? Getting answers is difficult
Why the Attrition? The Business View
Mission: Parents“Success on the sports field translates
into success in the board room”
Expectations: Sport coaches
•Lesyk JJ, Kornspan AS. Coaches' expectations and beliefs regarding benefits of youth sport participation. Ohio Center for Sport Psychology. N = 109
Whose mission is this?
“[When kids are playing this sport in school] They are not just playing for their parents anymore, they are playing for their school and for their peers.”
Where do the individuals figure in?
High School Hockey Grows In Cincinnati 1//2/02 Jeff Wallner USAHockey.com quoting Jim Geyer, president of the Cincinnati Amateur Hockey Association
Vision: Do the dots connect?
Vision: know the difference between association and cause & effect
….and, at what price?
Strategy: In Quest of ExcellenceCatering to the needs of few—Ignoring the needs
of many
Danger of building a program on a hunchThe Attrition Cycle

ConclusionsExcess body weight during midlife, including
overweight, is associated with an increased incidence of death.
ConclusionsBoth increased adiposity and reduced physical
activity are strong and independent predictors of death.
