My son was a high caliber soccer player two levels away from the national level- Now he is a cop, young and hard as nails physically and mentally, just like I taught him. Soccer taught him team work, how to think without panicking when things are headed South and made him an athlete. When he started the Police Academy, he could only do one pullup, so they put him in the fatman squad. Then he ripped off a 5:15 mile...BTW, when he finished the acdemy, #2 in his class, he could do 12 pullups....
I guess what I am trying to say is that which sport you play as a child isn't important as long as you compete. It's up to the parents and other positive examples to give them courage and heart...
