[quote=Anonymous][quote]You are really stretching here and clearly don't know what you're talking about. Some kids have natural talent, even without money and years of experience. Some kids have parents who pay to get them on teams and play for years but wouldn't make a team with relatively better talent."

True statement.  True for lots of things besides sports, as well.  Dance lessons for DD were only for fun (good thing, too--absolutely no talent), but some parents were dead serious about dance, music lessons may help--but, if child does not have the ear, they are not going to be on Broadway, art lessons, etc.  I've seen parents in sports and the arts who were convinced their kids were prodigies and would be famous.  My kids are now grown, and I cannot think of a one of those who succeeded in those fields.

The worst, though, was basketball and baseball.  So many were convinced their kids would make varsity the freshman year--and, didn't even make the freshman team.  There's a lot of talent out there--but, there is always someone bigger, faster, stronger.[/quote]
