The principle for me is that the children should be informed about the full extent of the decision they are making. For example, some sports require certain athletic features to reach a top level. If the child wants to do that sport, no problem, as long as they understand the probability of them reaching the top of that sport is less than other sports they turn down. There is nothing wrong with playing just at a certain level, as long as you know that. I would have been better off pursuing sports with weight classes but nobody told me this and by the time i started them (early twenties) there was just no chance i could reach beyond a certain level, which i regret.
