            Loving something is loving it from the very first time you experience it. This is true with "backyard sports"; sports like football, baseball, basketball, soccer, or any other of the activities that children play in the yard. Playing these sports as a child is fun. No one is considered "inferior" if they loose, no one tries to harm the other team, and no one is made to play. These games are played for recreation, not because someone has too. Children can run around all day, rack up a score of 89-87 not caring about illegal contact or a particular strike zone, and for one moment, forget who they are when they score a touchdown, run, or goal, visioning what a dream it would be to play professional sports. .
             Today, professional sports have become attached from this reckless abandonment of "backyard sports". Regulation has changed the game. It has changed it in a way where, the professionals do not have the mentality of "just a game" anymore. It has become war, business, and to most a way of life. .
             Regulation get started at an early age is sports. From the moment a child gets his first coach, the meaning of the game has changed. Now, the goal is not only to have fun, but to have fun taking pride in winning. When a child plays a game in a youth league there are now several rule enforcers that did not have to be dealt with before. The referees, the coach, and the fans change the meaning of playing of the game. The child is not there for himself anymore. He now has to please the referee by obeying the most particular rules, his coach by giving 110% towards a winning effort, and the fans by making them proud and entertained at the same time. .
             When a child has moved onto the next step of youth sports, such as a select or high school team, injuries are no longer an excuse not to play the game. Competition is now better, so everyone that makes that team made it because they would make the team better.
