I force my kid to train and don't feel bad about it.
Unpopular opinion, i know.
Before you ask. Yes, I also train.
I'm just putting this out into the ether for the hell of it. My son has been training since he was five. I finally picked it up when he was nine. He's 13 now, and it's part of the landscape. Getting him into the gym is like pulling teeth at times, but he enjoys himself when he's there. He is bro-ing it up with his homies, doing bjj with flavor that's uniquely his own, and he's even remarked about how he digs being part of a community. However, i know that he'd rather be blasting tanks and racing cars and building shit out of blocks on xbox and watching youtube shorts.
When he asks why he has to go, i tell him it's because it's good for him. This dude doesn't want to brush his teeth. I make him do that... Doesn't want to read... I make him do that... etc. I'd gladly relent a bit if he'd come up with another physical outlet, but that hasn't happened yet.
The kid is good. He could be great. I don't care if he's ever great. I dont force him to compete. I just want him to keep showing up as long as I can influence it. I get that he will likely give it up at some point, but for now, training is a requirement.
Sorry, not sorry.
