So, am I missing something or are all childhood activities in sports and arts now run for those parents and children who want intense near-totalizing commitment?

So once again, a thing at one scale (competitiveness, but locally) isn't the same thing if at another scale (competitiveness, but globally). Same with so many other things. Issue isn't the "thing" but the scale of it, but we focus on the thing as if that's the core issue.

So you get a backlash against competitiveness, but that doesn't work because that's not something you can just decree away completely, and also it is not what's causing the mismatch. Anyway, I think parents should organize strictly local friendly but yeah, competitive recreation.

Partly because the adults have (correctly!
) given up the maybe Olympics idea, and because they're just more experienced? One problem is youth recreation gets coached by the young adults on the Olympics/Scholarship route who hit a ceiling. They often replicate their own path.
