[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I can not believe we are teaching kids to NOT try new sports in their early teens[/b]. Or if they want to start to hire a professional coach to help? Good lord people. Is the only goal to excel? They are kids. This 13yr old has about 4 more years to enjoy being a kid. He doesn't need training. He needs to pick the sport he may like and try it. The End. OP, have him try anything he wants to try. You have already focused him on one sport for too long in his life. You need to break that habit. [/quote] I agree with this. However, as a naturally uncoordinated person, I could see where a 13 year old would feel self-conscious to try tennis, baseball, or lacrosse for the fist time at school among his peers. A class through parks and recreation is pretty inexpensive. Hiring a coach one or two times to learn the basics isn't the same thing as hiring a coach so you can become a star or get that sports scholarship.[/quote]
