[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents of athletic boys aren’t struggling, nor are the boys. Sun, fresh air and exercise work wonders.[/quote]

I wonder about people here who stereotype and obsess about sports and if they actually ever played themselves.   I tend to doubt it because they wouldn’t make statements like the one above.

All sports are not played in the sun and fresh air.   To name a few not in the sun hockey, gymnastics, swimming, basketball, fencing, half of tennis, figure skating plus.

After dating a few D3 hockey players, a professional hockey player, a pro football player, had many friends in football, lacrosse and hockey, brothers in varsity sports all through high school, nieces and nephews in varsity sports, I’ve seen plenty of struggle.   Sports don’t protect anyone from drugs, alcohol, depression, anxiety.

It’s a good idea to play games like basketball or any other game you like.   It’s a nice way to spend your time with friends and fun. But sports are not magic and kids choose other ways to enjoy their free time which have similar benefits.  [/quote]
