TO THE PARENTS, WHO DEDICATE SO MUCH TIME TO THE SPORT OF THEIR CHILDREN.
A FRIEND ASKED ME..
Why spend so much money and time for your child to train tennis, karate, swimming, volleyball, soccer, basketball or any other sport????
I replied:
I don't pay for my child’s training and playing. You know what I'm paying for?
🏐 Paying for my child to learn to be disciplined.
⚾ I pay for my child to learn to take care of his body and mind.
🏀 I pay for my child to learn to work with others and be a good teammate.
🏈 I pay for my child to learn to deal with disappointment when he doesn't get what he expected, but he knows he has to work harder.
🎾 Paying for my child to learn how to achieve his goals.
⛳ I pay for my child to understand that it takes hours and hours of hard work and training to win a championship / race / competition, and that success doesn't happen overnight.
🎳 I pay for the opportunity my child has to make lifelong friendships.
🎯 I pay for my child to be on the playing field and not in front of the television.
I pay for all the teachings that sport offers you: ′′ responsibility, humility, dedication, friendship, coexistence, etc. Etc.".
