[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is getting silly... there is a happy medium between expecting your kid to honor their obligations and put full effort into playing and some crazy expectation that the kid will go pro. There is absolutely a better chance of your kid becoming a doctor than a professional soccer player. However, you should still support your kid if they are trying hard at sports and encourage them to be better - worse case scenario its a good life lesson if they don't make it. The only crazy thing is to hinge everything (and $10s of thousand of dollars if not more) on the possibility of going pro. Also, long drives with my kid are great, I don't mind at all - they will grow up and not want to do them anymore - no electronics for our drives. [/quote] If going professional was a crazy expectation to all, we wouldn't have a Men's national team with professional players [/quote] Let it go. This is an easy example of why some people create and run companies and most people work for those creators. Some people believe in creating something not yet tangible or facing impossible odds. That takes vision. Most people just don't have it and that's okay. I hope people watch the video that led this post as the information would help alot of families navigate their journey whether they have a potential pro or not. [/quote]
