TO THE PARENTS WHO ARE SO DEDICATED TO THEIR CHILDREN'S SPORT. A FRIEND ASKED ME... Why spend so much money and time on your child to train in karate or any other sport??
I ANSWER YOU ....
Well, I have a confession to make, I don't pay because my child trains and plays. Do You Know I'm Paying???
I pay for my child to learn how to be disciplined.
I pay for my child to learn to take care of his body and mind.
I pay for my child to learn to work with others and be a good teammate.
I pay for my child to learn how to deal with disappointment when he doesn't get what he expected, but he knows I have to work harder.
I pay for my child to learn to reach his goals.
I pay for my child to understand that it takes hours and hours of hard work and training to get a championship, and that success doesn't happen overnight.
I pay for the opportunity my child will have to make lifelong friendships.
I pay for my child to be in a dojo and not in front of the tv or video game.
I pay for those times when my child gets so tired he just wants to lay down and doesn't think or has time to be lazy or in bad things.
I pay for all the teachings that this beautiful sport gives you: "responsibility, humility, RESPECT, confidence, dedication, friendship, coexistence, etc, etc.".
I could go on, but to make it short;
I don't pay for the internship. I pay for the opportunities this sport offers my child to develop attributes and skills that will be very useful throughout his life and give him the opportunity to value life.
FOR WHAT I'VE SEEN TILL TODAY... I THINK IT IS MY BEST INVESTMENT.
Thank you to those who entrust us to instill some of those great attributes into your children.
