[quote=Anonymous]In answer to the original question: band, chorus, drama, art, yearbook, chess club, community service, volunteering…Life isn’t sports or nothing. All of these offer built-in friend groups and opportunities for recognition. So many kids invest their entire identity into their sport. It’s devastating when the Peter Principle finally kicks in and they reach a level where they get cut. If they love the sport, there are rec leagues where they can continue to play. If they want to stay active and continue to challenge themselves, they could take up a new solo activity like mountain biking, yoga, cross country skiing. College has intramurals and club sports. I learned to play badminton and squash in college through clubs. 10-15 years from now, they’ll all be playing in the beer league anyway.[/quote]
