setting yourself up for disappointment. Don't waste the joy of your kids childhood on that. If you are on a cutthroat team then find a team with coaches and other parents with realistic expectations that are there for the growth of the boys. Sports are a tool to help our kids grow and learn to work and play as a team. That is it. Sports are made for kids, not kids made for sports. Feels like that should be a scripture.

If your kid ends up amazing and plays college great, but that is a stupid expectation.
