[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A) Some parents really need an "identity"- this is why you get "Baseball Mom," "Girl Scouts Mom," or "Cheerleading Mom." They derive a sense of purpose and identity from the activity that their child participates in and this reinforces that. B) A lot of parents want to believe that their kids are really, really good at something. Being on an expensive "elite" league will do that for some parents. [b]C) A few are actually deluded into thinking this will get their kid noticed by colleges/the pros.[/b] [/quote] LOL. Literally as I read this, a kid who played for my kid's travel organization several years ago was on screen in the college basketball game I was watching on TV. Meanwhile, several of his friends are starting to get letters from college coaches, and one has offers from an Ivy and two D1 powerhouse programs. That likely won't be my kid, but it's not that rare.
