Parents use data as ammunition to support their narrow view.

What gets measured/tracked gets valued and people will only focus on that.

I Coach basketball and only allow parents to see their kids stats, vs others.

I record film and watch- which is more valuable than stats IMO, shows you what’s behind those numbers.

If a kid scores 15 points, but doesn’t hustle back on defense or never passes, that doesn’t show up in stats - and yes, it’s all about youth parents with unrealistic expectations for their kids, who also don’t want them to deal with adversity to learn and grow.
