Some kids are burdened with the weight of parents' unfulfilled (and perhaps unfulfillable) dreams. You see them on Little League fields, in Pop Warner classes and ballet classes.
A few of those kids may actually want to become ballplayers, dancers or whatever, and will do whatever it takes.
What about this kid?

I have never been competitive, well unless I can win without too much effort...
ReplyDeleteColine--Ditto for me. I'm going to make a confession: I played football (a.k.a. soccer) because I was trying to bolster my college applications and, frankly, you didn't have to be terribly good to play on a football/soccer team in a US high school during the mid-1970s. I did race, and once finished third, but realized that if I wanted to accomplish any more, I'd have to ride more, not for fun, but to train.
