[quote=Anonymous]OP, it’s funny you are worried about sports because I’m sitting here stressing in the opposite direction about music. I grew up playing sports casually and doing music in a pretty intense way for back then (or as intense as it could be for someone who wasn’t a prodigy). I wasn’t great but did competitions and was in performing groups and stuff all through HS, and there was plenty of opportunity for untalented but hardworking kids to do that.

My DD is on a very competitive team for her primary sport and does other rec sports. She refuses to do anything involving music and seems to have zero interest in even trying an instrument or voice lessons. I think it’s a reflection of how competitive the music scene is at her school and in our community. It also worries me that she’s missing out on some kind of key part of childhood.

Totally normal to worry about our kids in this way. We just want them to have every possible opportunity before they’re older and doors close to casual participation or adult learning.[/quote]
