[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one in club swim and soccer. Another in club swim and basketball. This weekend one parent is taking a kid to a swim meet 1.5 h away and the other parent is taking a kid to an out of state soccer tournament that is a 6 h drive away. They both love hanging out with their teammates, but I also make sure they do other social events including birthday parties, school functions, volunteer opportunities, movie night etc, because it’s not good for them just to hang out with sports teammates. They need to hang out with friends from band, from chess, from school, from down the street. I think it’s great that kids love their sport(s), but you don’t want to limit your kid by having them identify as an athlete who only hangs out with other athletes. [/quote] This. Also, there is less than zero guarantee your kid won't get cut from the team at some point. Seen it happen and it's the kids whole life. People post here about it.[/quote]
