The latest Sport Wales Sports School Report makes for depressing reading. So don’t read it. You probably already know what it’s going to tell you.
Kids are less active and disengaged with sports and it’s worse if you are from a poor community.
We are wasting millions of pounds each year and doing a terrible job.
Why?
Because sport is based on status and hierarchy and its model is shaped like a pyramid. Lots of people at the bottom, although there are fewer now, and a few superstars at the top.
It makes sense if you want a superstar. Zero sense if you want an active nation.
The question is. Which one do you want?
After all, it’s your money.
