[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never saw a point to sports. My kids are thin and healthy, and I don't feel like shuttling them around to useless activities. To be honest no childhood activities pay off as an adult, except maybe music if you're really into it (just for fun)[/quote] One of my kids got an athletic scholarship to a top 15 university that covered the entire cost of 3 out of 4 years. My eldest met her husband playing pick up soccer in an adult league. We’re pretty happy with the payoff from these childhood activities, though we also think that all sports are beneficial for their own sake. [/quote] There's a benefit to doing activities for the enrichment factory even if it doesn't pay off in the form of an athletic scholarship which are very competitive. [/quote]
