[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think these some of these super intense parents are living through their kids sports achivements[/quote]

Not OP. But the level of intensity of youth sports, especially on parents’ side, always amuses me, sometimes puzzles me. I can understand parents' emphasis on academics, which supposedly helps kids with better jobs and careers. With sports, the chance of any kids making a living with sports is literally zero. Yet I see many parents pour money, time, energy and emotion into their son/daughter's sport. What's the thought process?[/quote]

You clearly don’t read any of these threads if you are still asking this question.

There are so many benefits of youth sports. Health and exercise. Friendships. Learning to work as a team. Building character through defeat. Learning to manage expectations. Learning to work hard at something. Keeping kids off of electronics. Keeping kids out of trouble.

My kids absolutely love their sports. And they do well in school. They learn time management.

All of this will set them up well for their future. [/quote]
