[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]

NP. The PP is right.  Sports are overrated.  Sports should be a means for keeping active, heathy, and recreation- not an all encompassing pastime that your child puts more time and energy into than anything else.  Vast majority of kids are better served from putting the bulk of their time and effort into academics and keeping sports as a fun past time. [/quote]

Yes, we know. Kids need to go back to being latch key kids who roam the neighborhood after school and just play with each other. Otherwise they will never know what to do when bored.[/quote]
