that doesn't mean it has to be sports. I think most of us are here because we like sports and probably played, but there is more to life. Band, debate, speech, theater, philanthropy, 4H/FFA, etc. are all good ways to learn a lot of the same things you get from sports.

My advice to my kids is going to be....do something. I don't care what it is, but get involved in something.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
