[quote=Anonymous]Just a note to all those criticizing travel sports and blaming their rise on hyper-competitive parents and high-stakes college admissions: some kids just are really into their sport! Both spouse and I are academics, no athletic abilities whatsoever, but somehow produced a kid who is an amazing athlete and simply loves practicing and competing all year 'round, 7 days a week. Certainly not planning on it being a college hook (kid in middle school), and only do the whole competitive travel team because of kid's desire. We are just following their lead. Not everyone has nefarious purposes on these teams, truly. As we all like to say, you parent the kid you have, not the kid you imagined you'd have![/quote]
