Sports parents can be pretty abusive in how they make young children devote hours of their life to a sport that their parent has decided they should do.
My own parents were strict about my technology usage and I got my consoles taken away from me if I spent too much time on them. Most of my free time was spent reading, watching movies, and playing with action figures.

Yea, but introducing kids to sports ata young age also get them good at it. Wish my parents actually encouraged and forced me to do it, because I actually loved sports.
You can only do so much. I was taking guitar lessons at age 4, and loving them, until my mom (who was also taking lessons with the same teacher) got frustrated, broke her guitar on the sidewalk and never took me back for music lessons.
Could I have ended up with a skill I kept as an adult, maybe? Speculating on what could have been isn’t too productive at this point.
These are two different words you cant put an and between them like they mean the same thing. There’s a huge difference between providing sports as an option and “forcing” a kid.
Like if you had been forced the chances the end result would have been you loving them would have been slim.
I guess I should clarify my use of the word forced. I do think some semblance of discipline needs to be instilled in people and it’s not 100% an intrinsic quality in a person or something that’s entirely a result of passion

What if you ended up playing Dave Mathews songs on the campus quad? She actually saved you!
