To save the "You don't have kids, what do you know?" I probably have more experience working summer basketball camps for kids than you do, so "You never taught the game at the 5th grade level, what do you know?"

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Encourage them to do things they find fun. There is not a single sporting event in their lives that will matter up until the Varsity or equivalent in high school, and even that is questionable at best. You can be on a traveling team that wins the national championship and it doesn't matter.

I quit baseball and soccer because I didn't like it all that much. I liked basketball but I was pretty horrible at it. Eventually, I got pretty good because I wanted to play and I enjoyed it. The biggest mistake parents make is caring how good or bad their kid is at a sport at the pre-high school level. It really doesn't matter. You want the kid to have fun and enjoy it.

Any other suggestions from the Genius with no kids?

Buy your kid a pony.

I try to get her whatever she wants. You want to be your kid's best friend

It's ok for you to say you want to be your kids best friend. If I say I want to be your kids best friend it is "creepy".

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

Yes it is.

When this is all over, which is not going to be for a while, Trump will be re-elected President.

Encourage kids to play as many sports as possible if they like athletics. The dumbest thing parents do is have kids "specialize". Play other sports and in turn work out different muscle groups in your body. Also as time goes on you may end up being really good at something else.

It's interesting how many top jr high kids never amount to more than average varsity athletes. Mostly because those top jr high kids simply hit their growth spurt quicker.
