We are fighting a losing battle. We live in a society and a time where instant gratification rules. Kids have countless ways to obtain entertainment. And the kids that have an aptitude for athletics are watching espn and fox sports and any number of outlets for sports along with the onslaught of social media sites. The constant of all those, is the fact that kids see their “hero’s” living the life they dream of. And in sports like football, basketball and baseball giving away full ride scholarships and/or instant access to professional money vs a sport like ours that don’t offer any of that. Add in the facts that our sport doesn’t only not offer instant gratification but promotes the exact opposite. We don’t have the media coverage to promote our sport. There are lots of examples of why we don’t keep up, but it boils down to the instant gratification of the current and upcoming generations. Of which there is nothing we can do to change it. Better scholarships and more collegiate opportunities would help, and better mainstream media presence would help, but those take time!
