Of course. Although those influences Okon and Les are talking about are prevalent in many countries so I don't see that as an Australian problem.Mr Red wrote:Children today have much different home lives and out-side influences compared to the past. So I think that has an impact.
You can have the best coaches and set ups in the world but in the end that's only part of the equation.

Society has shifted significantly as technology has significantly changed. Humans are naturally reactionary and it's only once the problem is at crisis point are we going to see action taken. But placing controls and restrictions on people's recreation/leisure time is a extremely difficult thing to enforce.
I think we need to see a shift from governments on this. Instead of feeding sick people drugs and looking at more and more ways to treats health issues. We need to look at lifestyle choices that create these health issues. I think creating a mandatory exercise program for communities (especially youth) would fix a number of health issues that the community faces. I think it would also reduce crime and improve community engagement. Social capital is a hard thing to quantify but its clear community sport is a key element of accruing social capital.
