[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pushed my kid into sports (golf and soccer) and music (guitar and piano) when he was five years old, and he absolutely hated it when he turned twelve years old.  Around that time, I hired a D1 soccer athlete to live at my house and trained my kid into an athlete in the summer of 7th and 8th grade.  My kid trained everyday with the D1 athlete from 6:30am until 1pm and he practiced music from 3pm until 6pm everyday during the summer.  The D1 athlete also taught him social skills and how to talk to girls.  He also showed my kid how to have a healthy diet if his goal is to play D1 college.  My kid ended up as a four years starter in varsity in golf (spring) and soccer (spring).  He played for a Power-5 school and met his trust fund wife at the school (she actually asked him out on a date).  Men and women want to hang out with people who have talents, especially college athletes who actually graduated from college with a useful degrees.  Nobody wants to hang out with unmotivated losers.

Did that trust fund wife insist on a pre-nup?  What happens if she dies unexpectedly, does that trust fund go to him? To the kids?  Going to college to marry well is something women did up until the 1950's because they had no rights.  It doesn't exactly scream "WINNER"[/quote]

That’s an obvious troll. No varsity spring soccer in HS. And the best college soccer players don’t play HS. [/quote]
