re: Parents of the OT: Youth Sports

Just because she is on a team that has 2 practices a day 6 days a week does not mean she has to commit to all of them. If she has a gift for swimming then nurture it, but don't make the mistake that it is an all or nothing commitment. I swam year round as a kid but I did not do morning practices and missed many afternoons playing other sports. I did it because I enjoyed it, not because I thought I would be in the Olympics one day.
