Synopsis
Journalist, coach, and parent Mark Hyman presents this insightful and often terrifying look at how adults have corrupted the idyllic institution of children's sports. With a wealth of interviews and investigation, Hyman shows how parents of children in all sports miss the point by pushing their children to attain athletic scholarships and amateur glory, and often cause serious physical and emotional injuries to their kids as well.

Industry Reviews
"It's likely that every parent and coach who reads Hyman's anecdotes will relate to at least one, will glimpse their own bad behavior, whisper a personal mea culpa and seek out ways to undo inflicted damage and do their part to fix a national problem that needs fixing."
(04/05/2009)
"Mark Hyman's little book carries a big message about the 'hostile takeover' of youth sports by adults. UNTIL IT HURTS is a must read, but it's not an easy read. We're likely to see ourselves, but unlikely to like what we see."
