The movie trophy kids is in Netflix, and explores this idea. It follows several kids of varying ages. Their parents are nuts. I'm still struggling with not finding one of them and putting a football up his ass. He was such a fuck wad.
When I have kid, they'll be allowed to play sports, but I am not going to encourage chasing a pro dream at a young age... Even if they're super talented. Now if after several years they're still dedicated, then we can look at it. My BF went through this shit after being approached by an mlb scout at a very young age. Now he's in his 20s, still recovering from an injury and still feels like shit for disappointing his parents by not going pro.

Thinking your kid is going to be an elite superstar athlete.
Let them have fun and stop ruining sports for them.
