Your kid and sports Don't want to burst your bubble, but it is time to face the facts, your child is NOT going to be the next Michael Jordon, Arod, Mia Hamm, or Peyton Manning! I have been involved in the organization of Youth Sports for about 15 years, not including the 10+ years I played. The most bothersome trend of the past 10 years or so are the parents thinking there child is the next coming of the Super Star Athlete. These are children, let them play! So many kids are pushed to extremes and goals are set that are just not attainable. While every one of us thinks our children are special, me included, the reality of the matter is that only a small percentage will ever play beyond high school. And nearly 0% will make it to the professional level. Of the 300,000+ high school football players last year, less than 10,000 will earn any type of athletic scholarship! Let the kids be kids, let them play, learn about team work, socializing, competition and exercise. Wanna be a great parent to your athlete? Let them just play!
