Around America and the world, team sports have been canceled, depriving kids of an anchor that most of them rely on for fun, socialization, fitness and a sense of accomplishment.
With these cancellations scheduled to continue for the foreseeable future, young athletes might find themselves feeling unmotivated to do much of anything, from completing their homework to getting their mile under 7 minutes, even if those things were once important to them. That’s normal; kids thrive on routine and challenge, and losing organized sports means those two structures are in short supply.
