Even if you don't like b-ball, you might poop a little
Holy shit. It's a good thing he actually likes basketball. Sometimes kids like that just get sick of it and turn into real fuck ups because they are forced to play a sport 2 hours a day every single day.
Better odds playing Power Ball than the kid making it. 50 kids in the Bronx can smoke him now and forever and half of them won’t see any court that isn’t asphalt.
someone's touchy about this...are we trying to justify that it was okay your parents made your childhood miserable?
the whole mentality of "Coach Dad" has never worked for me. i have plenty of aspirations and i'll put in as much work as it takes but that needs to come from me, not from a parent who wants to watch his son succeed. i've always appreciated support from my parents but their pressure turns me off of doing things. you don't seem to understand the line between supporting and pushing. if the kid is that good at age 12 he's prone to burn the fuck out and his dad making him work out for 2 hours every morning at 8am will not help with that.
it happened to me with hockey so i picked 2 sports that my parents know nothing about: ski racing and rowing. rowing is one of the most demanding sports and i'm willing to put in whatever it takes to try and be my best and go to college for it but i cannot stand when my parents try to push me into it. i know what i need to do and i'll do it and i'm having a lot of success being pushed by coaches and myself but i don't want the uninformed bystander telling me what i should be doing
your last sentence sums up that you will be a horrible parent because you will never be able to acknowledge the line between when your kid goes from loving a sport to hating it and he will be too scared of you to say anything about it
White americans point guards dont exist. Steve Nash is Canadian and even he is 6'3. This kid is going to end up like the professor from the and1 mixtape. Atleast he'll be a thug tho.
This kid on the other hand..Is going pro. He's in 7th grade and plays AAU highschool varsity.
I could stomp that kid in bball... too bad he's white and his dad's fat and he'll never be tall enough to play real ball. His dad should have gotten him into tennis or golf
