I had a similar conversation with my son a few months ago. My son played middle school football. He liked it, he got a lot of exercise and he felt he was part of a team. But....The whole team sucked so bad that they only won 1 game out of 8. I explained to my son, that sports is really just a fun thing to do and he will likely never get a full college ride for free for any sport because the odds are against him, and we would be more likely to win the megabucks lottery before he was a pro-anything. I told my son that when I get home from work everyday this summer he will be working........For me! He will be cutting the grass, burning up brush, light landscaping work, even small painting jobs around the house. To instill a "sports is essential" mind set into kids is moronic. Tell your boys that all the pro-football players have to have a college education to even be on a team.
