[quote=Anonymous]Strong disagree. I have one kid who plays a travel sport, and one kid who has only ever played rec and has never tried out for travel. For the latter child, the sport is mostly about having fun with his friends and less about the sport itself, so rec fits him perfectly. For the former, he loves the sport even though he probably will not play at the college level and is showing no signs of pro potential. He felt frustrated with rec because he wanted to play at a more competitive level. He is learning valuable skills about teamwork, hard work, self-motivation, and what it takes to succeed at something at a high level. And he is having fun in the process, more than he did at the rec level. Each of my kids is exactly where they should be, because it's entirely driven by their own motivation rather than external pressures. [/quote]
