I agree that most of the responsibility falls on the parents. Even with all the technology today that can make kids sedentary, parents can work harder to keep them from spending so much time in front of a screen and more times outdoors or active.
The other thing is that parents need to be the ones to figure out what their kids like to do in terms of sports, and push to involve them in those activities. And most times, kids don't know they like soccer until they try it for a year.
