Kids' sports have a price.
There are likely millions of parents who will pay it, whatever it is.
“I think youth sports have gotten too intense and I think it could lead to coaches’ depression and anxiety, parents’ depression and anxiety and players’ depression and anxiety,” says Carly Ellman, a sports mom in suburban Philadelphia.
She was speaking in “Beyond Stigma,” a new documentary about mental health in women’s and youth sports.
Ellman, a former Division I field hockey player, wasn’t asked specifically how much she spent for her daughter, Gianna, to participate in the portion of the documentary, one of its producers, Linda Flanagan, shared with USA TODAY Sports.
