I didnt push my kids on sports (grades are a different story) but i made sure they did any sport they had interest in doing. My son is a super avid snowboarder but didnt take to it until he was 13. My daughter did tons of sports and finally settled on cheerleading (made varsity in 9th grade). I was pushed hard on golf when i was a kid. Had to hit the range and putting green every single day in addition to comps. I totally hate golf now.
