From the supplier: Physical education professionals report that increasing the pay of coaches of elite and travel youth teams will promote negative attitudes towards winning and lead to corrupt practices. They stress that higher pay will boost the pressure on winning and shift focus from the needs of young athletes towards coaches' self-interests. They also believe that increased pressure to win will promote unfair behavior and disrespect for opponents.
