It's nice to have some commonality around the table on this, because I think this is something....
As a parent to a young child, my little guy is still too little to be involved in any organized sport, but it's something that's very top of mind to me. What sport would I want to put him in?
My happy spot as a kid and my happy spot now as an adult is at the top of the slopes with skis strapped to me. That has always been my way of getting out, de-stressing and connecting with nature.
However, there are so many allegations of abuse and there are so many cases coming up of kids being abused by their coaches and sexually abused by their coaches, I think that makes parents...at least it makes me very nervous. What am I putting my child into? As much as I know there are tons of benefits, in the cases where there is abuse, I don't think there could be a single benefit.
Can you guys touch on that a bit?
