[quote=Anonymous]My boys both really wanted to play though not “desperately.” We explained our reasoning, which they kind of got and successfully steered them to other sports. My athletic junior still kind grumbles about it and thinks he’d be a star, but not in a very serious way. It helped to have other year-round sports they could lean into and that would cause conflicts with football. In retrospect we maybe should have gotten them involved in lacrosse (team sport, some cool factor) but that ship failed. I have a brother who played rugby in high school and college with multiple concussions and some other injuries that I am fairly certain contributed to his chronic depression and some other health issues as an adult. My kids both know this about their uncle and I think it helps them understand, if not fully accept, our reasoning.[/quote]
