They have this somewhat unpopular idea that kids sports shouldn’t override family life completely. Being a crazed “soccer mom” seems to be the typical complaint. (bragging?)
I have also noted that some of my kid’s peers, who played 3 sports all through high school, had cortisone injections to get through basketball games, now are already experiencing a lot of joint issues in their 30’s. Not worth it!
