[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is 13 and a swimmer. We are doing this 3x a week and then on top of that we have meets. I've made similar decisions to OP's sister, but I won't again. I regret it. For me, it was the wrong decision and what I've learned is that the important family is more meaningful and longlasting than an individual day in sports in most scenarios. We've had swim meets and soccer tournaments (for my son who made a great travel team and now is on the HS team) and in retrospect any single one has faded away. But the big family events we chose against (because of the commitment or the kid's preferences or the fear of the consequence) for the one kid who had the conflict, well those turned out to be irreplaceable experiences of tremendous value. I think OP's sister will greatly regret this when she gets some space from the sports craziness. [/quote]
