[quote=Anonymous]I have an athletic son, who is not particularly tall, and who has become completely obsessed with basketball. He's got the kind of work ethic that you really dream about for a kid, doing things like practicing outdoors in the rain to get reps or spending hours in the gym. Essentially he wants to play basketball in his free time all the time. He has siblings who are stars in their sports who never practice, and I've often wished that they would put in even 1/10th of the effort this kid puts in. As a parent, do you draw the line? I'm happy that he has a healthy outlet and he really wants to hone his craft, but it seems a little over the top. I worry that he will burn out of basketball because he is so singularly focused. Has anyone encountered something similar and if so, how did you work with your child to find a balance?[/quote]
