[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Why do some people allow their kids to spend all their time on academics and make no effort to improve their athletic skills?[/b] [/quote] Because athletic skills aren't important. [/quote] My daughter will never be a professional basketball player, so you're right. Her ability to dribble a basketball or run plays or make three pointers isn't going to take her far in life. But health is important, both physical and mental. Academics help teach her one method of being intellectually strong and active. Sports help teach her one method of being physically strong and active. The practice of physical activity is important. Athletic skills are one way to make that practice habitual and lifelong.[/quote]
