How old do you have to be to decide you want to play sports professionally, 6...15? One doesn't really know. Kids have dreams of being a superhero one day and an athletic star the next. Being a star athlete in school, an athlete realizes they have something good going for them, so they decide to put the team and the school on their back; adding more pressure to themselves to be perfect. The athletes themselves want to be the best on the team and so do their parents. My question is, how much pressure should an athlete put on him or herself to be successful and to make everyone around them happy? Tell me, what do you think?
