[quote=Anonymous]We have a relative who is not athletic and didn’t have athletic parents. As an adult, he has made enormous sacrifices for his own child to pursue her sport. He even moved his entire family so that she could have access to coaches and train. So I don’t think you necessarily have to have athletic parents. I never played a sport and I have been extremely encouraging and supportive of my kids endeavors although clearly they are not going to be Olympians or even college athletes. So I think the key is supportive parents more than athletic ones. We have some friends who discourage sports (my own mom did) and you do wonder what hidden gifts might be missed. [/quote]
