[quote=Anonymous]I think sports can help build character but they aren't for everyone. I think the thing missing here is that kids today do not know how to fail. When they are on the verge of failing many parents step in. I think kids need to fail and see what they do with it moving forward. It is so hard to watch and not intervene..this happened to us recently with our oldest who is a rising junior in HS. We knew DC was going to fail and watched it in slow motion. Both of us agreed the failure would either make or break her (at least in the sport). Its what they do after the failure (regardless of in sports or academics) that will help show you what kind of kid you have.[/quote]
