I agree the conversation went in a different direction.

But, Many of the boys I know that play lax 10 months out of the year also play other sports. In those other sports' season.

An athlete is an athlete, and plays whatever activity is presented as long as they like it.

Imagine that 10 yr old who wants to play hockey for the first. Look at those committed parents faces as soon as little Johnny (who is ggod at lax) hits the ice.
