[quote=Anonymous]I think there are huge sacrifices made in certain sports, such as ice skating. Kids devote hours daily to the sport. Private coaches, ice rink rental, etc. Gotta be very expensive. Kids pay a very high price in endless practice, forgoing school for alternative education. And for what? A few make it. A very few. I would prefer my kid enter a sport that he/she enjoys and devote as much time as they want to it without sacrificing other facets of life. If they are passionate about the sport, that is another thing. Not a chance I could afford to support kid in an expensive sport like ice skating for 10-15 years. Now running is another thing. You put on your jogging shoes and take off. Running is free. Let them run as much as they want to, and if talent takes them to the top, that is awesome. [/quote]
