[quote=Anonymous][quote]Whose interest is this sport? It sounds like my son is younger (he is 14), but he has combined type ADHD, and is fairly successful in travel soccer - because he's highly interested in it. If he weren't, he would definitely not be able to be successful.

DC is the one interested in the sport, and is younger than your son. I unsuccessfully tried to push DC toward individual sports like tennis and swimming because they seemed better suited. We spend a lot of time and money supporting DC's sport - things like regular private lessons (because learning in a group is a challenge), and driving all over the place for training, camps and tournaments, and to what end? Some days I think DC's best hope is a successful high school career, or maybe playing at the club level in college, both of which are great, but if that's the case, I think I could pull way back on all the extra stuff that we're doing to keep up with DC's current level of play. All this said, DC really likes all the extra training - I'm the one that is burning out.[/quote]
Then don't do it any more if you are burning out. That's perfectly reasonable.  [/quote]
