[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your kid has the potential to go pro and really truly could make a good living as an athlete, I don't see the problem in making your life revolve around kidsports.

But very few are naturally gifted enough for the investment to pay off. Best case scenario your kid gets a sports scholarship to a no-name university and they graduate with a comm degree and work at a car dealership. Worst case scenario they become a kidsports coach and keep the scam going. You'd have been better off focusing more on academics and keeping the sports as a rec level hobby. [/quote]

Nah. Sugar, the grapes are gonna be sour with you when you see the college prospects for slightly above average athletes with below average academic achievements. Shoulda spent all that time and money on Kumon classes and an English tutor instead of chasing a ball around. Elite athletics is genetics. You either got it or you don't. 10 hours a week of practice can't make up for the genetic lottery.[/quote]

DP but FYI not every parent views their role in life to be simply raising future college students…[/quote]
