as the school year gets into full swing, many kids will get involved in youth sports. Young athletes can often benefit from playing group or individual sports, of course, but there can be downfalls as well. Anna Iliopoulos has more on how to prevent your child from experiencing stress and burnout. >> 60 million kids in the U.S. participate in organized youth sports, no matter if it's team or individual play. Young players aren't just having a ball. They're building their physical, social, emotional, and mental health. My favorite thing about baseball is probably working hard. >> And, because I just like pushing myself, knowing I'll get better in the future. >> A lot of parents say they value the benefits of organized sports, including creating a sense of belonging and connection, teamwork and friendship. According to a recent survey released by the Kids Mental Health Foundation, sports at any age is really great for kids in their development when they're really young, just having that space to move, be out in green space, outside. >> But as kids get older, the emotional side of the benefits of that can be really great in terms of teaching kids frustration tolerance.

Experts say following these tips can be a game changer. Help your child talk about the pressures they're feeling. If they won't open up, encourage them to talk to their coaches and find ways to praise your players performance when they're both celebrating a win or struggling in defeat. >> Working through frustration and challenges is definitely something that we want kids to be able to experience and learn the skills that they need to get through those difficult moments. That's a great way to establish that that self-assurance and reliance that is really important as they mature. But there's also no problem at all in taking a break. And sometimes kids just need to be given that option as a viable next step for them when they are perhaps feeling kind of fried or
