[quote=Anonymous]Some parents are delusional. Some think it’s cool and they are doing it to brag on the gram. Some don’t know what sports talent looks like and they think it’s cool to say that their kid plays travel even tho anyone who wants to pay can get on travel teams these day. Some the kids actually have talent and they like it - but I think those are mostly rare. Some don’t understand how hard it is to hear a college athletic scholarship and they think that’s an option. Hopefully you can make friends with fairly normal people. Sometimes it’s hard not to get sucked in. I did a D1 sport in college (though Ivy League) so at least I know what talent looks like and that helps me keep a level head about my kids. And I tell them in our family we are most likely going to succeed with our brains as opposed to brawns. Thems the breaks. [/quote]
