It's up to the parents to understand what their kids are getting out of youth sports and to decide what a good ROI will be.  This also means parents need to understand clearly whether their kids have a shot at college, national team, etc. regardless of what the coach is telling them.  Unfortunately, a lot of parents don't have the background to make those judgments, and profit-focused leagues/coaches will sell them dreams and never be held accountable.
