[quote=Anonymous]Same struggle here OP. For my youngest I don’t worry about this at all because he’s early elementary and frankly not as athletic. He likes sports but I don’t see him moving to a more serious level for quite a while if ever. He isn’t one of those kids that is likely to want/need more intensity anytime soon. My oldest is upper ES, naturally pretty athletic and likes a more serious/intense environment. He does travel/select for two different sports, with one more serious than the other. The coach of the serious one feels he has the potential to play at an elite level if he works for it. Coach wants and expects them to work on skills outside of practice. My son says that he does want to aim for the higher level but when it comes time for individual practice is not very interested. I try to remind him of the coach’s expectations for the team.m, but I figure he will either start to internalize this and want to practice more, or not. I think if it starts affecting playing time he might. Only time will tell. Some kids are very intense from a young age. I don’t know whether that’s how it has to be nowadays in order to succeed or whether those kids are on a path to burn out faster. [/quote]
