Great post...gives me things to look forward to as a mom, and all sorts of ways to wonder what I'll do someday when I'm in your position.

I was not good at team sports. In fact, I was awful at all sports. But my parents forced me to play through high school because they wanted to teach me how to go outside my comfort zone, push myself, and be on a team. I was never pressured to be good at the sport, but rather learn all the lessons that came as a result. As an adult, I both love and hate my parents for putting me through all those years on the volleyball court. Mostly, I love them because I think I'm better at my career because of the lessons I learned. But, it took a lot of soul searching for me to realize that I'd just rather compete against myself. I'm a runner, or a swimmer. Not a volleyball girl. Same goes for work. I'd rather freelance than be on a big team of marketing gurus that have to work together. I sorta wish my parents would have helped me to realize these things much earlier... but it was my own battle to overcome.
