[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travel sports are a lifestyle choice.[/quote] Yep. A lifestyle choice parents force upon their kids. [/quote] I disagree, when you child start losing interest in an activity, no matter what it is, sports, band, chorus because they are not challenged because they coach to the worst kid on the team, it is time to get beyond parent coaching and be challenged. The talent gap get larger around 4th grade and if a kid is not challenged they lose interest. A close friend's child was good, really good, she wasn't getting anything out of her weekly practices, her competitions were all wins, her coach suggested she move up and go to a higher level, she ended up with a full ride for chorus because she moved up and was challenged. It isn't just sports where kids are doing this it is in academics but because it is academics people think differently of the parents acting the same way as sports parents. [/quote]
