[quote=Anonymous]When the kids hit the grind..it has to come from the kids. Find ways to let them enjoy their time in ES, MS and HS and being a kid. Take time for vacation, the sport will always be there. As a parent of a D1 athlete, we had ups and downs all the way through HS. FOMO was huge and many friends didn't understand the 20+ hours of training each week and then don't forget homework. It's been 10 years of training and competitions with our athlete trying to find her way. We as parents would be quietly frustrated w/ coaching etc, but would always be at the meets and always say, loved watching you..even when no their best. For college, she wanted D1, not us. We encouraged D2 and D3 and now she is in the grind of D1 athlete with alot of perks, but still has to sacrifice a lot too. But in the end, the drive and focus was all from her[/quote]
