Introduction Dr. Jay Schwartz is the owner of Collin County Pediatrics, a medical practice that serves children and adolescents. Continuing his involvement with youth outside the office, Dr. Jay Schwartz makes time to coach basketball through Upward Sports, a national organization focused on producing well-rounded athletes. Encouraging and enabling children to play sports from a young age has been found to offer a variety of benefits beyond physical wellness:
Childhood Development 1. Self-esteem: Confidence and self-respect can be enhanced by participation in sports and other group activities. Praise and congratulations from coaches, teammates, and guardians can push children to believe in themselves and their abilities in all areas of their life. 2. Academic reward: The dedication and focus learned through playing sports can seamlessly transfer to scholarly pursuits. Hard work, cooperation, and problem solving are applicable on and off the field. 3. Social interaction: Team sports help children build social skills, through engagement with both the other children and the adults involved in the program.
