When you become a parent, no one tells you how much time and energy—and, let's be real, money—you're going to spend on your child's extracurricular activities, especially sports. Is playing a sport even worth it? As a former athlete and current proud Sports Mom, Laura says YES! This week, she's sharing why the commitment to play a sport is so worthwhile for kids. From learning how to push yourself, to being a helpful teammate and leader, to embracing progress over perfection and learning lessons from failure and trying again, playing a sport can be a practice field for the game of life. Plus, they're just plain *fun!*
