As we wait for the high school basketball season to get started I am going to ask a question that I would like feedback on... In our local paper this past weekend they were talking about the stress of an athlete on kids. My question to you is how young do you start your kids in competitive sports? Can kids handle the pressure that comes with sports at a young age? Are we pushing our kids to hard in these sports?
In my opinion I feel that its the parents responsibility to choose when they feel their child is ready to play the sport they want but the child has got to want to do it. Every year it seems to me that kids are getting younger and younger when playing competitive sports and its because that is what the parents want not the child. Play because you love the sport not because mom or dad made me try it... Your turn. I want to hear from you. Thanks for listening to ESPN 99.1. Listen this Friday as Brad Peterson and Jeff Fyling have the call at 6pm cdt with the Lincoln Patriots and the Brandon Valley Lynxs. Can the Pates knock off the Lynxs after the Lynxs upset Mitchell? Also answer my poll question about who you think the early favorite to win the state title in "AA" football will be. Thanks for reading my blog. Tell a friend!
