But you know for all kids I think
the benefits of sports are, you know, the exercise, the social skills, the camaraderie.
I mean I think back on my experience.
I I have friends now who I haven't seen in, you know, probably twenty five years.
And if I picked up the phone I would have a conversation with them like it was yesterday from, you know, the bonds that we formed.
But I think even specifically why it's even more important for these kids is
that a lot of them struggle in the school relationship in other contexts to form social relationships, social skills and groups.
And so having
А shared goal, a shared interest can make that a lot easier.
And if you have a skilled coach, I mean this is really another place where I'm going with
with OBA is if you have a skilled coach, the involvement of that adult, especially as the kids get older and you're no longer having play dates that are facilitated by a number of thoughtful moms.
Um having the adult presence there.
when you're sort of aging out of other supervised relationships can be really helpful and can also provide the kids with sort of
that adult non parent mentor that can be so important in the teenagers when maybe the parent is the very last person
that the kid wants to listen to.
I I remember days, you know, if my s coach told me that I had had a good practice, I was on Cloud Nine and
that influence can be really strong and really positive if it's done in the right way.
We'll be right
What I what I always say first is that the
Best thing that a sports parent can do is listen.
