And if they love it, I mean, I've got friends that their kids are so good at a sport at 10 years old and that's all they want to do. And there's nothing wrong with that. Yeah. You're letting the kid guide that too. For sure. Yeah. You can't pressure them into playing because you love the sport.

I would just look at how athletic they are. So no matter what position they're playing or even what sport they're playing, you can see a kid and see, oh, he's athletic.
