We've got to have a radical rethink of the way the sport is funded to help the young players develop.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think sports are extremely beneficial for our youth. They parallel life in so many ways.
I do genuinely believe that young people who play sport at a competitive level, sensibly controlled, sensibly organised, that has to be a good thing. It will teach them to win, it will teach them to lose with dignity and magnanimity - all the things you want. It's a pretty good metaphor for life.
It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.
I think we want to make the sport bigger and better and leave a good legacy for the next generation that comes through.
We want to encourage the young ones to learn and get some confidence in sports. It's fun and keeps you active and moving.
Everybody recognises that giving young people competitive outlet through sport is a very good thing.
The true value of sport is more than the skills that young people learn.
I know many people who are actually queasy about the idea that their kids may harbour sporting ambitions.
Though teenagers are generally very interested in sports, they must realise that education is the most important thing in their lives. They must find the right balance.
I'm convinced that promoting sport is an intelligent way of educating our children.
