Too many young people walk away from sport too early.
One of the significant factors inspiring them to call it quits is overcompetitiveness.
In 'So Your Kid Wants To Play Sport', Matt Webber sits down with Bond Rugby veteran and premiership hero, Dan Boardman who reckons the selfishness that emerges when players, coaches and parents forget the joy of team effort and focus purely on winning probably carries a fair chunk of the blame.

As you'll hear, amazing things can happen when selflessness is your guide.
