I would agree with any programs that provide more opportunity for kids to be attached to sport and to get involved earlier in life. In the sport community, in the family, we talk about not just high-performance sport, we talk about the continuum that is the development of athletes in the country, and it starts in the playground. It's often referred to as a playground-to-podium mentality in the development of an athlete. The old adage that it takes a village is absolutely true in the development of a high-performance athlete in this country. It starts at that level. So we would be supportive of any programs that initiate placing kids where they can try sport and see how it works for them.
