[quote=Anonymous]It's the money maker here. Kids in Northern Europe are much more active-many bike or ski to school, have PE almost daily and enjoy sports after school. They understand that only a few make it to top level. Parents and children are not in lalaland. My ex (American) and DS believed here in US that he could make it. I have no idea who sold it to them. Back at home government supports many programs. Being active saves money long term in health care and keeping kids out of trouble. Parents are not milked of their money. The few kids who are really gifted, get sponsored really fast.[/quote]
