I've adopted the same mentality my parents had: don't care what you're doing or how good you are, but you have to do SOMETHING. As a kid, I tried baseball, tennis, bowling, swimming, soccer, etc. I wasn't very good at any of them, but I always had to be involved in an activity. Same with my daughters. They both swam, but they wanted to stop, so it was just "fine, you can stop swimming, but what will you be doing in its place?" One is still in sports (softball) while the other has taken up acting
