[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread reminds me of how off the rails youth sports has gone. [/quote] Agree 100%. But some of this is what parents are demanding. Everyone has dreams of D1 scholarships and helping Young Junior maximize their potential. And there are so many businesses now ready to just take that money. As the parent of an above-average athlete, it takes everything in my power to resist the temptation to go all in and simply let him have fun in whatever he wants to try, and take his lead on where he wants to spend more time and focus in a given season. [/quote] It's really hard not to get sucked in, especially once your kid makes a great team and they are competing for playing time. You may know your kid will never get a D1 scholarship, but you still want to help them succeed. I think the best way to avoid getting sucked in is probably to avoid trying out for competitive sports.
