19:31Now PlayingIs holding your child back a grade really the key to gaining an edge in youth sports? Dr. Phil examines the growing trend of “reclassing,” where parents delay a child’s academic progression in hopes of creating a competitive athletic advantage. With NIL deals and direct college payments dramatically increasing the financial stakes of amateur sports, Dr. Phil explains why more families may be tempted to view an extra year as an investment in their child’s future. But for most young athletes, he argues the potential academic, emotional, social, and financial costs can outweigh the benefits. The goal should not be athletic status at any cost. It should be raising confident, healthy kids whose happiness and self-worth are bigger than the scoreboard.
