Why do parents put there kids in sports, most would say something along the line of like it builds character, I cant disagree with that  or that it shows some levels of discipline that is good for the growth of a child  development. I Cant explain it like Katherine Lee does, "Discipline is not only good for children, it is necessary for their happiness and well-being. Discipline is as vital for healthy child development as nutritious food, physical and cognitive exercises, love, and other basic needs. Without discipline, children lack the tools necessary to navigate relationships and challenges in life such as self-discipline, respect for others, and the ability to cooperate with peers." basically what discipline does to some one and it also gives manners as well and it supposedly helps kids make friends according to  Lee ."In fact, failure to discipline children often results in kids who are unhappy, angry, and even resentful. To those around him, a child who is not disciplined will be unpleasant company, and a child without discipline may find it difficult to make friends." I can see how that could lead to unpleasant company but I found that people with similar characteristics often gravitate towards each other. I think not only parents want their child to play sports but the kid itself,wants to play, My  mother never forced me to play any sports growing up, it was always my decision, but it seem like Parents support their children more then anything, so some parents can a little out of hand though with things involving their kid.
