[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was very well done (as is so much on Real Sports) and scary. And I hate the focus on specialization on one sport for kids. Yet here I sit, having discouraged my kid from playing on his HS basketball team this year, after it ate into his club soccer time last year (as a 10th grader, yikes). Soccer is where my kid really excels and may play in college, but he enjoys basketball for fun. I just don't want to be the parent who goes first...sigh.[/quote] Our soccer club coaches continue to suggest that if the players choose to do a second sport or play high school soccer, they're not serious about wanting to play in college. Even in a league (ECNL for girls) that is structured schedule-wise to support that, they have planted the seed in these young teens' minds that "there will be consequences" for not choosing club only. Frustrating. [/quote]
