[QUOTE="CatDaddy, post: 403862, member: 755"] ^^This^^ Enjoy the ride, it comes and it goes too quick. Not saying kids shouldn't strive for a championship, scholarship, or even more but odds aren't in their favor. Have fun, make memories, learn the lessons team sports have to offer. That's what makes it great. I have a 17 year old junior in track. Not my favorite sport to spectate. But he loves it, he's into it, and he's FAST. We support him and I've learned to enjoy the meets. He was recently named a captain and I've been able to give advice on leadership - what it means, the responsibility that comes with it, and how to help make his teammates stronger. I will be sad the day he hangs up the spikes for a 40 hour work week..... Now that I'm hiring young engineers, I look for those who have played sports and can articulate what lessons they learned, how they contributed, overcame adversity, or were leaders. More to it than the score at the end of the game. I could care less if they won a championship or got a scholarship to play D1, D2, D3. [/QUOTE]
