... but the 2nd reason, is kids get too much pressure from adults!
Whether it be parents, coaches, older siblings ... adults can sap all the potential enjoyment out of any sport! We all need to help kids find the passion for the sport that we have. If we can't, that's okay!! And, we need to develop the passion in parents as well!
It's a terrible tough sell to Mom, if she is not on-board!
I totally agree about the mom thing. I was worried my wife would not get on board. When I first started coaching high school wrestling she didn't like wrestling. I had faith that someday when it was her boy out there on the mat that would all change. Thankfully it did and she is super supportive. And I think her support for our son's wrestling is more important than mine as a father.
