[quote=Anonymous]A slightly jesting headline basically my son (age 12) is really good at soccer. So good that European scouts have contacted us about his development, asking for updates and game videos. He's also been invited to some camps overseas so they can get a better look at him. That's all great and all but I never thought he'd be a sportsman of any sorts given the lack of athletic genes of any sort from the parents. I also know the numbers of kids who go into the sports world and get chewed up before they reach college age and that grind is quite scary. It wasn't something I expected for him and was far more interested in him pursuing a more scholarly career (quite good in math and science). Do you think we should encourage the sports or be more realistic and keep his head in the books? So far we can do both but I worry about the time demand of highly competitive sports as he grows older. [/quote]
