Ping Pong

Most of all, I want her to experience all these sports to find her passion(s) but if she ever wants to be great at a sport or sports, it's typically far better to have played many different ones to later be great at one than having just focused on one.

I hope her passion is dance

FU. Prob will be. Sigh.

Srsly though, we'll probably just tell her, "No dear. We can't afford to send you to dance lessons. Sorry. How about another sport?" Bwahahahaha.

And then she will resent you for the rest of her life for quashing her dreams. Lots of athletes take dance lessons for the agility and body control that it teaches. Don't dismiss it out of hand. Please don't be the parent that makes their kids fit the image in their own heads and not who the child really is (not that I think you really mean that).

I used to play daily. Not so much anymore.

Does anyone else use the penhold grip?

I had to look up the term. Yes, I used it back when I played. I found the backhand balance much better, as well as control with power and also spin.

My neighborhood plays pickleball. It's a pretty fun mixture of tennis, ping pong, and badminton.

Why no to wrestling? I won't have her do it competitively but I'll have him teach her over the years.
And **** no to dance. You're wrong. To me, it is dumb as ****. An absolutely worthless endeavor. It doesn't really teach anything but hard work (which any sport also teaches) and how to be anorexic. A very unhealthy pursuit imo. But more importantly, dumb as ****.

I meant no to team wrestling. Learning how to defend/fight is great.
I wrestled for 18 years and it's not a very rewarding sport other than being a badass.

Sometimes dad do "worthless" things with their little girls because it makes the little girl happy.
And dads are suckers for their little girls.

Looking forward to seeing your daughter on Dr. Phil crying her eyes out because you wouldn't let her do dance.

But then again, if you are like the rest of us with daughters, it would only take that look from her and she'll be a dancer.

I LOOOOOOOOOVE badminton. Probably haven't played since HS but my grandmother (Oma, God rest her soul) used to have a net set up in her bakc yard and I used to play my brother all the time.

Ah, ok, we're the same then. I represented my school in tennis (Summer time), and badminton (Winter time) for 3 years (senior high).



Good times.

Then she turns 18 and becomes a stripper so she can finally pay for dance lessons.
