Just because a 9 year old is mediocre in lax, dosent mean the kid is mediocre. I was an average athlete at best. Now I'm 48, with a great family, tons of friends, I got very good grades in college and then med school. I help people and get paid really well for my services. That's what I dream about for my 3 kids. I don't dream about my sons 9 yr old lax team. I don't dream about saving 8 grand tuition one day, I don't dream about my son pulling up to a high school with a ball bucket making 40, 50 bucks an hour giving lax lessons. All I ask of my 9 yr old, 10 yr old and 12 yr old is have fun, try your best. It seems like some people on here just have their priorities out of whack
