We're raising a generation of wussies. Actually, this problem has already taken root and there are current generations of wussies actively integrating into society as you read this. It's hard to say just how long this decline in society has been taking place, but be advised, it is ongoing. Right now, somewhere in America, someone is getting an 8th Place ribbon. 8th Place Ribbon takes a look at watered down rules, participation awards, lack of participation as well many non-sports related factors that all contribute to the creation of an entitled generation. A collection of the author's personal experiences mixed with outside testimonies and a dash of humor, the book strives to not only raise awareness to potential long-lasting problems our society's current mindset on youth sports presents, but also some corrective actions that can be taken by all involved to avoid them.
