[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here; forgot to mention my son is older, as you probably gathered from the Model UN reference. Just wanted to add that there are plenty of other team experiences that aren't necessarily sports related. Being part of the cast or stage crew of a theater production, debate team, etc. all are team experiences.[/quote] This is a very good point. We found that the team sports were creating a very negative view of teamwork and the team experience for my son -- truly the opposite of what people tout as the primary benefit of team sports. The best team experiences for him are coming from non-sports groups, like his rock band and robotics team. As for sports and the need for exercise, he also chose swimming, where it is really all about improving your own best time and personal progress is very easy to see and track. [/quote]
