A more realistic outcome is early burnout, loss of motivation and potential mental health issues in later life.
Since 2008 we’ve seen a 60% surge in sporting injuries among under 14s. This is twice that of any other age group.
We’ve talked with the experts to discover how to maintain Kiwi kids’ sporting balance, and how you can help them reach their potential:

- For a few years I've enjoyed busking opposite the Regent each Saturday from 2pm to about 4pm, rain or shine. I'd like to find one or two others who'd join me doing it. The public is often cheery, often toss a coin in the hat, sometimes stop to yak or even sing or dance with friends.
- Nothing complicated - just songs the public knows and loves, but if you can play uke or guitar as well, good. Even batt-powered keyboard maybe. - ALSO I'm equipped to do YouTube karaoke for favourite songs. 'Just search for it, bingo, start singing along to it. 'Some marvelous spontaneous little sessons in the past, from people who stopped.
- Benefits...
º Maintain music ability & public confidence
º Cycle out out for a break from being inside
º Get exercise,
º Enliven Broadway after the Plaza took a lot of foot traffic away. (Although the Plaza is a warm retreat in miserable weather, Broadway is the valuable 'human' space. You see 'real', independent shops. You see 'community' street life that includes our poor, our bored roamers & desperadoes, a parade of traffic of all sorts, our frustrated teens, families with strollers, old people, mobility riders, people off to the movies, cafes, the Regent, etc.)
- It's can be more than just playing music. You can dress up a bit, do drama, or things for the kids, walk round on stilts, chalk hop scotch on the footpath, jive and dance.
- If the spot opposite the Regent is already taken by another busker, I just go 50 yards towards the Square and set up there.
- If interested, just reply here. Maybe there could be a group of us, or take turns and yak etc. What I would really like is to make it so good that it becomes a 'scene' that always attracts a crowd socializing. When I lived in Montreal and Toronto, there were scenes like that, 'great fun.
- The picture is of a couple of my friends who play didgeridoo and some kids who stopped on Broadway.
