What does it take to raise an Olympic athlete?
I have tuned in to every Olympic Games since 1994 and I have never asked that question. The 2012 Summer Olympics is the first one that I’ll be watching as a mother. I am beginning to realize that the mothers behind these elite athletes are as admirable as their all-stars.
Just imagine everything they must have done to give their child a chance at a gold medal.
This Globe and Mail headline says it all: “kids in organized sport can cost you thousands”. Between equipment, transportation, facility rentals, uniforms and club membership, the cost for participation in sports denies some kids the opportunity to play.
And high costs is just one of the many possible reasons beyond a child’s control that forces some kids to sit on the sidelines.
