Absolutely insane how many parents think their kids can pro athletes

Date: February 28th, 2024 9:29 PM Author: vigorous sable tanning salon Not even considering the large genetic barriers to entry for a second, but everything is so fucking saturated and competitive and most people do not have the time or resources to allow their child to stand out from the herd. You can’t just play AYSO for 6 months per year, with a couple practices per week, and expect to maek it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5497381&forum_id=2#47449125) |

Just let your kid enjoy the sport and have a positive experience. No amount of expensive training sessions will turn a pretty athletic kid into a professional. |

Date: February 29th, 2024 1:33 AM Author: exciting death wish I think you meant to say, "If you have a boy, make sure to force him to play football." Since football gets 85 scholarships and Title IX requires the number of male and female scholarships to be equal, there are basically no D1 scholarships for male athletes in any sports other than football and basketball. And football has over six times as many scholarships as basketball. Men are not going to get a scholarship at a D1 school in any other sport unless they are literally All-American level.
The calculus is completely different for girls. I knew a wealthy family with four girls. They put them into soccer camp since they were old enough to walk because they figured that soccer lessons were cheaper than college tuition. All four girls got full soccer scholarships. One went to Stanford; another went to UCLA.
Granted, I think they knew that there was some athletic talent in the family, but it's not a completely crazy idea if you have girls and you know that they will never be eligible for financial aid. But for boys, they're never going to get a scholarship at a decent school in any sport other than football. |

Date: February 29th, 2024 11:57 AM Author: stirring house halford There are 300 D1 baseball schools that can offer up to 30 partial scholarships (12 full) per team.
The talent pool for baseball is much shallower, as good players go straight to the pros, and there are basically no nigs playing baseball anymore because none of them have dads |

Date: February 29th, 2024 12:32 PM Author: Galvanic frozen location We do sports/dance 6 or even 7 days per week. My oldest is at dance a over 4 hours a day mon-sat. Her younger sister isn't far behind. My oldest boy does baseball 4 times a week. Our youngest son is 6 and just getting started. I've told all of them repeatedly there is zero chance of making a pro level and probably not even college.
However, that's not why we do it. Firstly, they like it. My girls flip out if there is any family event that might cause them to miss a single dance class. Second, it puts them with a more consistently better quality peer group. Growing up my best friends were kids in the neighborhood. Nobody has kids anymore and there are none in our immediate vicinity. All of my kids draw their friend groups from their respective sports. I noticed this at birthdays...it's basically a dance party for the girls. Lastly, as they get older they're just now getting to the point where it's actually fun to watch. I like going and watching them. |

However, the girls generally dress more conservative than the girls I see at the junior high. No tummy shirts or short shorts. |

Date: February 29th, 2024 1:14 PM Author: Galvanic frozen location Again, not here to defend dance. I hate it but for different reasons. Don't take offense, but 6 months is nothing. My girls all started at three. If a girl doesn't have basics down by five they're pretty much out of the game.
Ballet in particular is extremely rigorous. They are terrified of being called out by the instructor. For transferable skills...they get a great ass and legs. Very few if any unfit girls past 10 years old. |

Date: February 29th, 2024 1:20 PM Author: vigorous sable tanning salon IDK. It was a neighborhood studio, don't know how good it was. But the instructor was all kumbaya all the time, no one was terrified of that woman. It also only cost I think $95 per month for once a week class. Probably for the lower class strippers in waiting.
My daughter does martial arts. It's 180 to see her take down boys bigger than her. It's 180 to see the quiet confidence it instills. It's 180 to accumulate belts and stripes, and the life lessons it teaches are immeasurable. |

Date: February 29th, 2024 1:25 PM Author: Galvanic frozen location I think bjj or wrestling would be a much better skill to carry forward in life.
For ballet, girls need to be 'on point' before 12 and that requires a shit load of hours just to hit a minimum. And that's not even to say they do it well. If you're late getting to point, you're out. They'll take your money but they're not getting sugar plum fairy. |

|
Date: February 29th, 2024 1:28 PM Author: Galvanic frozen location I used to think the same. However, each of those 'spins' the girl has to have her hands, head etc in a specific position at a specific point and so forth. The instructor will yell at you if your elbows are bent the wrong way. You have to know ballet is extremely technical. It's like how I cant really evaluate a painting but a pro can totally pick it a part. I will say when it all comes together you can tell the difference. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5497381&forum_id=2#47450869) |

Date: February 29th, 2024 1:36 PM Author: Low-t church building ballet requires perfection in technique and involves a lot of flexibility, balance, agility and gracefulness. So there are the physical benefits and also the character benefits like self-discipline. Ballet teachers are notoriously demanding and sadistic.
This is in contrast to many styles taught at neighborhood dance schools with little girls twerking in bikinis. |

Last week we were tied and went into extra innings. We got a lead and it was time to close out. The coach tapped my kid for the save and they start with one out and kid on second. Super high pressure environment my kid would never otherwise experience. I thought it was great for him, even if he blew it. |

every single playground in America has one kid who effortlessly stands above the rest, just laps the field in every sport - everyone knows he's destined for greatness! 99% of those kids will never go pro |
