I dunno Dach. I can tell you that Im not ever going to encourage elite sports in my kids so I hope that will be enough...
If my kids wanted to line dance for a living, Id want them to be happy, but elite sports are far, far too hard on children bodies (cept for synchro swimming ) and leave bugger all room to muck around. I was fine with my parents putting all their time in (cos I got something out of it lol) to my sisters sport but Im not sure how other siblings might have felt. I cant ever see it fair on the rest of the family unless everyone was totally one eyed about it.

I'm pretty over the way sporting people are looked up to as gods whilst there are so many people working their lives towards the good of their community/others/world and are totally overlooked. It's SPORT after all. And yep, I'd like to instil the same attitudes in my children

If it was beneficial for my entire family to move to another country I'd have the same attitude as you about it Dach.
