Sports is certainly not a deciding factor, however I want my son to be a happy kid�all around. While he is academically gifted, he still wants to be normal socially, and sports are very important to his identity. I am not hoping my kid is some major jock in high school, nor do I plan on him playing in college at all, but I want his childhood to be as normal as possible, which for my son, who loves sports, includes playing sports.

Thank you for the articles. I will check them out.
