[quote=Anonymous]Would your kid have had a happy (or happier) childhood if they’d never been introduced to their sport or their travel aspect of it? In someways, some kids (travel sports kids, elite musical kids) today are more like pre-1930s kids when they didn’t really have much of a childhood or time to be teenagers. teenagers (as we think of them) pretty much evolved in the 1950s. By 16 up until mis 1900s you were expected to work. Today that regression is seen a lot in the youth travel sports world. Heck, we’re seeing more academies pop up where sports are emphasizes more and school is scheduled around sports training. This was limited to a few sports like figure skating, gymnastics, ballet in the US. Now we more and more of this for baseball, hockey, and tennis. [/quote]
