[quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone.  I actually have had kid into preventative PT and have started looking for someone they can see about performance anxiety.  I don’t want to add in strength training yet bc only in middle school and I am trying to keep commitments lower.  My kid is on the younger side so I insist on sticking with the minimum required practice at this time and happily allow skipping for school work, rest etc.  I am a little crazy about sleep and try to insist on 9 hours (but I can see that will be hard next year as school work ramps up, which is part of the issue).

Kid has all As in school and mostly not injured though definite aches and pains, and I worry about overuse a lot.  Kid is mostly rule following (forgets to make bed but sticks with major responsibilities).

So I do worry about creating a problem where there isn’t one but looking ahead, it feels unsustainable.

No doubt the sport has been a positive so far but it is getting to a tipping point where I really question it.  On one hand, how lucky to have something they love and are good at.  On the other, the expectations outside our family keep ramping up and it feels like a losing proposition.  I think that is my main worry.

Clearly, I was not an athlete and don’t know what to do with this.
