He wanted to try out so I let him. Didn't force it, didn't pressure him, just drove him to practice and showed up to games. Got the email today that he made the middle school team. Kids room is his now for the celebration. So proud I could burst.
Love this. My 10 year old asked to try baseball and I almost pushed him toward soccer because that's what my older kid does. So glad I let him pick. He's thriving and actually having fun.
How does he feel about it now that he's made the team? Bet his confidence is through the roof since it was his own goal.
That's a real win right there. So many parents make the kids' sports about themselves. You did it right by just being the transportation and support system. Props.

This is the way. My oldest tried lacrosse because he wanted to, not because I pushed it. When they choose it themselves the commitment is totally different. He's been at it for two years now and still loves it.
