[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not true at all.  There are tons of sports that require wealth.  Sure it helps if kids have an athletic physique once they go through puberty; however, wealth makes quite a difference in a lot of sports.

Downhill skiing, squash, tennis, golf, hockey, equestrian sports, fencing, ice skating are some examples of sports that require tons of money.  My friend taught at a private school in Florida where it accommodated students' sports schedules which included swimming, tennis, equestrian sports, fencing and car racing.  All of those kids were super wealthy.[/quote]

[b]Yes they may require money but it doesn’t necessarily mean the kids will be good[/b]. Are you seriously debating this [/quote]

Are you kidding?  You need money to get good in tennis or golf.  Even Francis Tiafoe needs serious training that JTCC provided him for FREE due to his family situation.  Scott Scheffler wouldn't be the best golfer in the world had his family was poor.

If you have kid A and B with the same athletic ability, but kid A has wealth and kid B is poor, kid A will come out ahead in athletic because kid A gets the best training money can buy.[/quote]
