Friend of mine has two kids...5 and 3. His oldest was eligible for Kindergarten this fall, but he and his wife decided for a few reasons that he wasn't quite ready (mostly a maturity thing, and he would have been one of the youngest in the class), so he's going to start kindergarten next year. So, he is going to preschool this fall again instead.
All that as background to say...he has found out that there are a lot of kids doing what his kid is doing, but their parents are doing it for ATHLETIC REASONS! They even call it "Redshirting".
I saw some crazy things when my kids were involved in soccer and diving and then running with regard to parents, but this is a new level that I didn't see back then (my kids are now adults).
So, just some info for you. Do with it what you will.
