National Institute for Sports Reform
Description
There are problems on our athletic playing fields that regrettably become more severe with each passing year. These problems manifest themselves in the areas of professionalization and specialization at an early age, exploitation and academic corruption, commercialization, sports gambling, abuse of performance enhancing drugs, declining sportsmanship and escalating violence, over-the-top media coverage, unequal sports opportunities, escalating sports injuries, and declining health and fitness. As a result, our pre-professional athletes from the youth to the collegiate level are at greater risk now than at any other time. Indeed, many would argue that our young people are the victims of a national crisis which threatens to compromise health as well as educational and athletic development.
Achieving reform of our runaway sports culture will not be easy. Indeed, four important events must occur before we can achieve true reforms that will benefit our young athletes. First, there must be a coalition of all the various reform groups from the youth level up to the collegiate level such that there is a centralized, strong voice advocating change. Second, in combination with a unified coalition, there must be a grassroots movement in which parents and athletes demand changes and become more actively involved in the development and implementation of reform measures. Third, there must an active and continuing dialogue between representatives of national sports organizations and representatives of sports reform groups. Fourth, there must be an independent organization that can serve as a think tank, research center, information clearing house, consultant, and advocate for sports reform.
To accomplish the above objectives, the National Institute for Sports Reform (NISR) was established as a nonprofit (501)(3)c organization in 2003. The NISR is a coalition of concerned Americans seeking to improve the athletic and educational experiences of our young people. NISR is the only organization in the United States that is specifically devoted to studying and advocating needed sports reform at the pre-professional level. Because of this unique role, the institute will enjoy the benefit of a diversity of opinions and ideas from individuals in all walks of life. From educators and other professionals, to athletes, coaches, parents, fans, media representatives and the average layman, NISR needs the input and action of all people to effectively study and promote change in our sports culture.
