As Sports Moms we know that involving our children in youth sports is beneficial. It is one of the reasons we sacrifice so much for them to participate. But did you know.....
Kids who play youth sports are less likely to:
-break the law or go to prison
-join a gang
-abuse alcohol or drugs
-abuse sex or become pregnant
-skip class
-have discipline problems in school
-drop out of school
Kids who play youth sports are more likely to:
-perform well in school
-have higher grades on national tests
-graduate from high school
-go to college
-become and remain employed
-become directors and managers
-become business and political leaders
-contribute to society by participating in social and charitable programs
The next time you are sitting in traffic, rushing from school to practice - keep this in mind. You are helping to shape your child's future. And THAT is worth all of the sacrifice in the world :)
