I love this post I recently saw. Think it says alot!

"One of my friends asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kid to play sports”?

Well I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kid to do sports. Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport they do.

So, if you're not paying for sports what are you paying for???

- I pay for those moments when my kid becomes so tired they want to quit but don't.

- I pay for those days when my kid comes home from school and is "too tired" to go to their training but they go anyway.

- I pay for my kid to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated.

- I pay for my kid to learn to take care of her body and equipment.

- I pay for my kid to learn to work with others and to be a good teammate, gracious in defeat, and humble in success.

- I pay for my kid to learn to deal with disappointment when she doesn’t get that win or championship she’d hoped for, but still she goes back week after week giving it her best shot.

- I pay for my kid to learn to accept that they won't always get what they won't or deserve and they have to accept that non selection is sometimes just part of life even if it seem unfair.

- I pay for my kid to learn to make and accomplish goals.

- I pay for my kid to respect, not only themselves, but other players, officials, and coaches.

- I pay for my kid to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight.

- I pay for my kid to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals.

- I pay for the opportunity my kid has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of her achievements as I am.

- I pay so that my kid can be out on the park instead of in front of a screen...
..I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kid with to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!"
