[quote=Anonymous]This is a question I want to ask the regular parents. This question is specifically about the parents who post in the 'soccer' forum, the parents that make their kids swim 5 days/week, the parents that make sure their kids are on travel teams for multiple sports, the dance moms.... Do you think it is all worth it in the end for these parents? The endless practices, games, tournaments, travel among most sports. The 5am swims in the cold dark winter. Fretting and obsessing over which travel club and team is the best. Which 8 year old female player is better than the other, faster than the other, stronger than the other. Fighting with coaches for more play time, obsessing over stats, grabbing for resources, yelling at refs.... At such an early age, could the kid REALLY want this? Very few make it to an elite athletic professional level and even then, is it so wonderful? What is it all REALLY for? Any thoughts appreciated. [/quote]
