In my opinion kids and young teens deal with so much in this generation. Sometimes it's almost unbelievable what some of them go through. Do you think the amount of pressure and/or stress on younger people has grown over the years? Your opinion?
Answer
i love this question so much! i grew up back in the nineties. And when i reflect on my childhood, i just smile. Life was so much more simpler! I could just ride on my bike everywhere and be home to watch Mr. Roger's on tv at 3. We had a movie store in town and a candy store! My grandma mostly watched me.
Now life is GO GO GO! People are stressed, anxious, angry, depressed. It shows through our television and just our whole lifestyle. The shows aren't fun for kids anymore, everything has to be educational! I believe that kids should grow up with fun not a strict schedule! I miss the nineties! The eighties were a fun time, too as my parents say.
This is only coming from a kid, but i hope you get what i mean. I'm 15 now but i feel like people my age can probably answer this question the best. i want life to slow down a bit. less stress, less worries, more fun. you only live once!
god bless,

What are different kinds of awards to give kids on the motocross team I coach?
Just wonde
I am coaching a team for kids from 10-15 years old and want to give out awards at the end of the season...like MVP. What are some other awards I could give out?
I do plan to have an award for every racer
Answer
Get in touch with the local importers who deal with bike stuff. Where I one such is called monza imports and ask for some freebies. Also local bike shops and get stickers and odds and ends that don't cost much and do up some grab bags so all the kids can have one.
Don't just give out 'most improved' and such as while it is great to be achieving I find sometimes this only focusses on one or two riders and they get the pats on the back the whole way through. Did anyone have a big off in training as you could give out a 'bent handlebars award' One of the clubs I am involved with actually has this and it really is a set of bent handlebars. So make a few fun awards like this as well.
A lot of coaches I know get the kids to balance on their bikes and try to have a slow race. Those with good balance can stay upright with the bike basically not moving for ages. See who is best at this and give them an award. So you could make the end of year a fun things as well. Have a race where they have to start by putting their boots on before running to their bike and doing a lap. Again you can award a prize for it. You can do a tag team race where you put the riders in groups spreading the ability out and making sure each group has a 50cc bike to slow them down. See who gets over the finish line first with each member of the group doing a lap.
This way the day is fun and the kids go home, some with real achievement awards and others with just a fun award.
