The Department of Pediatrics at the University of Maryland Hospital for Children and the University of Maryland School of Medicine teamed up at the end of 2011 to conduct research about the dangers that come with pedestrians who walk while having on a pair of headphones. Their concern was that so much attention had been given to the issue of distracted drivers, but very little had been given to the many who simply walk without acknowledging the steps ahead. According to their study of 116 reported deaths or injuries between 2004 and 2011 from pedestrians wearing headphones, 55% of the cases involved trains and 29% involved cases where the driver (of the train or car) gave a warning via horn. In the grand scheme of things, there are an average of 4,500 pedestrians who are either killed or injured every year as part of a documented traffic accident, which is to say that a mere 116 deaths/injuries over the course of 8 years is barely an issue.

Still, while researchers agree that “causal relationships cannot be proven,” their work leaves plenty of room for speculation about pedestrian safety when it comes to the use of mobile devices that ultimately distract walkers and runners from the honks and beeps of oncoming traffic. Apparently, New Jersey has even gone so far as to outlaw texting while walking with a fine of $85 per incident. Why? Because text-walking leads to jaywalking (crossing a road at a location other than the visible crosswalk), which endangers everyone in a 30 yard radius.

The research serves as a vindication of some obvious truths. If we distract ourselves from the most important realities of safety that we teach our children, such as “look both ways before crossing the street” or “watch where you’re going”, then the likelihood of injury or an even more grave fatality will go without saying at some point.

Be careful out there. Maybe New Jersey is onto something.

If you’re one of our early club, league and association customers — or just plain observant — you may have noticed that we’re no longer using “TeamLink” to describe our solution for multi-team organizations.

Where did TeamLink go? In a nutshell, we’ve outgrown the name.

Our earliest product for multi-team organizations offered a simple method of linking teams together for basic management and communication. At the time, we didn’t put a lot of thought into the “TeamLink” name. It was merely a descriptive placeholder.

(Under this naming method, Amazon would have been called BookOrderWebsite and Facebook would have been called TimelineGripe.)

Two years later, TeamSnap now offers an entire suite of features for clubs and leagues, including communication, roster management, scheduling, registration and public web sites. We’re doing much more than just linking teams.

TeamSnap’s team capabilities aren’t bolted on top of a club site framework or back-end league administration software. They aren’t an afterthought, but the base for everything else. Sure, we provide great organizational tools for those who run clubs and leagues, but those tools are directly integrated with our best-of-class team features that delight players, parents, coaches and team managers.

Our new league and club capabilities retain TeamSnap’s trademark usability and clean design, so club and league administrators can enjoy the same kind of user experience that makes TeamSnap so popular with teams.

Whether you’re managing one team, or administering an organization of 1,000 teams, there’s a single name that describes the best solution — TeamSnap.

Now ready for the big time.

Flying home from Spring Training a few weeks ago, our flight was packed with 7- and 8- year-old boys. Had they gone to see their beloved San Francisco Giants or Oakland A’s play up-close and get autographs? No. They were returning from a four-day baseball tournament where they played against other 7- and 8-year-olds from up and down the West Coast and neighboring states.

Bad enough that they had missed two days of school to play baseball against other kids their own age—I have to think there are plenty of other teams at their age-level within a short drive of their Bay Area town—but I couldn’t stop cringing as I listened to the coaches and parents talk about those other second- and third-graders:

“Did you see that first baseman? He SUCKED!”

“Man, that team from Orange County was awful! They should go back to rec ball.”

“Who cares about the math test you missed on Friday? This is what life is about!”

“I didn’t see one kid on that team from San Jose that I thought would make it to the major leagues.”

“I cannot wait to kick butt at the tournament next month!”

Really? They were talking about kids one or two years into playing baseball! In Little League, they haven’t even begun pitching—it’s still coach-pitch at that age. Even my 15-year-old son shook his head in disbelief at the comments that were coming out of these parents’ mouths. Making judgments about a child’s long-term athletic prospects even before he’s hit his first growth spurt? Wow.

As I got off the plane, I started to think about what messages these kids were receiving from this experience:

• Message #1: Baseball is clearly more important than school;
• Message #2: They are much more skilled than the average 7- or 8-year-olds in their area, so they must spend a lot of money and time to travel in order to compete against like-skilled kids;
• Message #3: At 7 or 8 years of age, it’s already apparent who’s got what it takes to make it in the MLB 10 or 12 years hence; and
• Message #4: Harsh criticism of other children, which some people would say borders on bullying, is perfectly acceptable

Do kids of this age really need to be missing several days of school and traveling to multiple states for multiple tournaments every month? I don’t think so. The rise of travel teams and the lure of a college scholarship has turned our nation’s focus away from academics and toward sports, even though a significantly greater number of kids will go to college on academic scholarships rather than athletic ones.

At 7 and 8 years old, the skill level from player to player really doesn’t vary all that much. Sure, every once in a while you have a recognizable star, but he’s one in a thousand. Most of these kids on ‘travel teams’ are just average ability for their age group, but they—and their parents—are being told otherwise. They are in for a huge letdown in a few years—after puberty—when athletic ability will really become apparent. Or not. There is no way that anyone can tell at this tender age which kids will make it in the MLB, and no one is going to convince me otherwise. It takes a lot more than being the biggest kid in third grade, I can tell you that.

And let’s not forget the cost of all this travel. Aren’t we in a recession? Traveling to 8 states in 8 months for 8 different tournaments doesn’t sound like a necessary expense to me. But tournament directors and travel team coaches love to feed off of parental insecurities and our sports-obsessed culture to put cash in their own pocket.

Simply put, I think 7, 8 — even 9, 10 and 11 — is too young to travel these distances for sports. It’s just not developmentally appropriate—and it sends all the wrong messages to these young kids about why they should play sports. Kids at this age should be playing for the FUN of it, not the BUSINESS of it.

I wonder how many of these young players, who today are put on a pedestal by their travel team coaches, will be watching those other kids who “sucked” play on a major league team?
