I have kids in sports, and have tried / failed / succeeded at many different sports and activities with them.
My advice would be to let them try different things. They will find a sport or activity that they enjoy. Whether they are really good at it or not isn’t as important as if they enjoy it.
A lot of the craziness comes from pressure from peers (yours, not theirs) and sometimes pressure from extended family.
It is important to remember one thing, let them be kids. They only get one chance to be a five year old, a nine year old, a 13 year old. Try not to give in to the outside pressure that they need this and that to succeed.
Also enjoy the time you get to spend with them in vehicles to and from sports. We have some of our best conversations then.
