[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, grit and motivation will die quickly when there simply are no opportunities. As the PP said, if there is just one competitive swim team/club, one competitive soccer club or gymnastics program, if you don't make it before middle school, the probability of making it later is about zero. A human being needs something to strive for. If there's nothing to strive for, the bar has been raised so high or made impossible to pass by some other means, people will disengage. Stop participating. [/quote]

Wrong

That’s where you practice in the side to walk on to the team. Camps, 1:1 lessons, youbtube, pay a teen or college athlete, and practice your butt off.

FYI the top players practice their sports by themselves or with their dad or subs or friends 2+ hours a day OUTSIDE of team or organized practices.

Kids like that exist out there. That’s grit and motivation. The action and doing part.  Not the wishing and whining part.

Soccer and bball in particular. Kids are out there playing it 2+ hours a day w  friends or themselves, etc. All you need is shoes and a ball. If you’re good you’ll get picked off by a program [/quote]
