[quote=Anonymous]DD14 has pursued a sport that many on DCUM would consider not a "real sport" since she was little. Her younger sister is a star field hockey and basketball player who gets constant praise for her abilities, most especially from my DH who loves that he has a daughter involved in "real sports" and pours lots of time and $$$$ into making sure she has the best equipment, fancy name brand sports apparel, practicing constantly, etc., so DD has been feeling pretty left out lately because he never cared about her sport even half as much as he does for my other DD, and many of the sports things he buys for her are things my DD paid for with her own money.

Recently she tried out for her school's track team, just to try it, and she not only made it, but is an amazing jumper and consistently has some of the best times for hurdles and long jump. She seems like a much happier person, beams after leaving practice, and said to me "I think I found my sport." Suddenly DH gets her new sneakers. Go figure. I'm super proud of her because she isn't athletic, has always focused more on academics, and I'm happy she found a sport she loves.[/quote]
