And the parent, when I talk to a parent, might say, oh, football is the number one sport.

So that tells me that's a gap.

Something, something, they're not behind closed doors.

Either the parents are not being receptive to what their kid's saying.

or the kid is getting false knowledge.

Like, oh man, you're great at football.

Like play football.

You'd be a number one draft pick.

Do this.

You can go out there and score six touchdowns.

It's a gap somewhere.

And that's something that running in two youth leagues, I've learned that whatever the kid is saying,

The parents need to learn and know that your kid is going to be more successful whatever they're saying they want to play rather than you trying to guide them and push them to do.

If they're not good at it?

So that's the hardest part with a parent.

Like right now, my daughter is excelling at basketball.

My son is excelling at football.

If they both came home and said, yeah, that we would like to play baseball, something that wasn't even in the equation, I'm fine with that.

And if they might go to baseball and suck, get struck out, not catch a ball, but I know my kids are happy.

True, true.
