[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a difference between travel obsessed parents who are riding on their kids’ shot at college level athletics and parents who have their kids join sports. What an odd thread.[/quote] I have kids who do travel sports. I think sports have been great for their confidence and fitness. I think they've also taught them a lot about success and failure on the individual and team levels. They won't be getting scholarships. They love sports they play and are competitive as hell, maybe they will play club level in college. That seems to be the overwhelming majority of kids who do sports- contrary to what some people may think, parents and kids aren't delusional about their prospects, still for some reason their is this perception that all sports have an end goal of a college scholarship.
