[quote=Anonymous]Pushing a 7 year old?! WTAF? Sounds like a recipe for burnout by age 10. My kid is in a different sport, in a specialty position, which requires a ton of work. She does play travel and takes private lessons and puts in a ton of work on her own, but DH and I have NEVER pushed. Many if not most of her teammates parents push to a certain degree, but we never do. I do not believe in a KID working this hard at a sport without it being 100% self-directed. 100%. She started putting in extra work at 9, and has increased the intensity as she has gone along, but it is ALL HER. As it should be. You start pushing your kid at 7 and she is very likely to burn out.
