[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about the people who can’t afford to put the kids in sports? Will those kids lack “grit and resilience”?[/quote]
OP is a privileged, clueless person who doesn't understand that resilient people come from all different kinds of backgrounds. OP can't imagine how someone they are interviewing may not have come from a family who could afford/provide team sports for their kid.

OP probably only assumes they have "grit" but have never lived in poverty, parents who couldn't speak the language to help with HW or navigate the school system; never had SN challenges, health challenges.   If OP had any of the aforementioned challenges, I do wonder if OP would have the grit and resilience to be in that position to interview others.

I don't think this thread is going the way that OP assumed it would go.

A person who went to a no name university, worked their way through college, didn't play sports,  comes from a background that is not privileged probably has more grit than a kid who played team sports whose parents have college degrees and have the means to pay for team sports.

I hope that OP learns from this thread.[/quote]
