What I see a lot of today is parents making their kids "play" aka practice,practice,practice either golf or tennis!
The parents think their kid is gonna be the next Tiger Woods or the Williams sisters or the parents "gravy train" for their retirement.
In the OLD days(as far as team sports go) you knew who was on the team year after year.They stayed a team nearly their whole career. You could then really cheer your "team" on
Now days the players move constantly,not really teams anymore.
