de·lib·er·ate (adjective)
The definition of the word deliberate is done consciously and intentionally according to the dictionary. In the article ” How to Help Kids Disrupt Bro Culture ” by Ana Homayoun, you come across this word when the author states, “A 2013 review article published in the Journal of Sports Medicine suggested that early and excessive emphasis on youth sports and early sport specialization – or participating in one sport year-round – can shift youth focus from fun or “deliberate play” to performance and has been linked to increased psychosocial problems, antisocial behaviors and negative peer interactions.”After now knowing what the word means, the author was saying that young kids that play sports can shift from having fun to then doing intentional actions to other peers in the game, which can cause psychological problems.
