[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m interested to know if in hindsight parents think that intensive sports were worth it. Especially if the kid stopped playing after HS. [/quote] My advice: If your kid plays a sport keep a sharp eye out for injuries, situations that will obviously lead to injuries (such as getting up at 3AM to get to practice by 4AM), coaches that are pushing too hard, concussions and so on. Sports starts out as a nice social and exercise thing that turns into a problem in HS. As one PP said very few will play pro or even college and most DCUM readers would go farther with academics than sports. Teach them to cook and do their own laundry also. That has given us so much more free time together. [/quote]
