Can the average kid really be a professional athlete???

By: Coach Little

     These days when we ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, we get answers like, " I wanna play in the NBA" or "I wanna play football"....  We as adults have always heard that the chances are slim so don't focus on sports too much....  My question is, should we really try to kill our children dreams by telling them their chances are slim in being a professional athlete?
