[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was picking up my son from a baseball training facility last week, and I was gobsmacked to see a dad show up with his what appeared to be kindergarten kid. The kid was tiny. T-ball tiny. At $130+ an hour I truly don’t get it. The place was full of 5’7 dads and their equally tiny kids. Sports marketing has clearly tapped into something absolutely genius. Where did this all start is this the Tiger Woods just do it phenomenon? Setting aside that Tiger was a physical beast. As are most successful athletes. We’ve lost our collective minds. [/quote] When the colleges stopped admitting students based on smarts everyone pivoted to sports as a way to get in the door. The irony is now admissions are even less equitable when wealthy kids are receiving private coaching at age seven. It’s madness. [/quote] Most of these parents are just wasting money. Their money will be better spent with private tutors than coaches.[/quote]
