1% of 1% of kids who play sports go pro. Its a
race that doesn’t exist. Its like playing the lottery to win! Just heard a kid
say he wanted to play for his HS over club team so he could hear the fans from
his school and talk to his friends and classmates about the game in school the
next day. The kids inherently want to experience life skills! Ever seen a 2nd
grade teacher with a Masters degree try to get her kids to line up properly to
go to gym or lunch? Now you want to tell me that there is a realistic and not
adult made up elite 2nd grade travel sports? Parents: ever had an older child
take something from a younger child? Ever had them share? Which do you have to
teach them to do more often, to be competitive or to get along? The best
learning environment is when the teacher and the student learn together, and
both share that knowledge with others who have the same or less ability. It’s
called community, and it is very important for later on in life coping skills. Sometimes
you have to treat the symptom to relax the patient first. Then we treat the
disease. We need more tolerance and inclusion, not eliteness and exclusion.
