[quote=Anonymous]The risk of injuries is why I encouraged my child to take up music (orchestra) instead of sports. My friends with sports kids, the kids always ended up with some kind of injuries that took them out of school. Concussions, broken arms, hands, legs. Statistically, None of these kids will be good enough for or even want to play in a pro league as an adult, so I didn’t feel like the risk of serious injury (especially brain injury) and missing school was worth it for what’s essentially just a fun hobby for a few years. I wanted my kid’s brain to be as preserved as possible. It has worked out well for us. Kid will be graduating next year, and I have suggested he try golf as a safe and fun sport to socialize, as he enters adulthood.[/quote]
