The only reason I reached a childhood dream in athletics should be 100% credited to playing catch in the yard. I have been addicted to all sports since I can remember. Thinking back on it, I credit this passion for all things sport to playing catch and shooting free throws in front yard with @DaleMurphy3 The best performing and most passionate youth athletes aren’t the ones who have the best and most expensive private coaches. It’s the ones who spontaneously go out and PLAY with their friends, siblings, PARENTS, etc. Key word there being PLAY not “GET COACHED”. Want to get your kid into sports and have them LOVE it? Participate with them as much as you can. Forget your skill level in that sport. No one cares. Go out there in the yard with them and have a catch, throw the pigskin around, shoot some hoops, etc. Start delegating their development out through hiring as they develop their passion and coordination. It will save you money AND make them better long run, but most importantly it will improve your relationship with them.
