Just realized my kid's soccer practice is helping him sweep chimneys.

My twelve year old has been tagging along with me on easy jobs for a year now. I finally let him carry some gear and help with the tarp setup. He was moving way smoother than I expected, and he told me it's like setting up for drills with his team. The way he thinks about where to put tools and how to move around a messy hearth is all from that team practice mindset. It's cool to see a hobby I just drive him to actually teach him something useful. Makes the whole grind feel a bit more like we're on the same team, you know?

Seriously? Sports just teach chasing balls.

Ten years coaching soccer showed me it doesn't help with real chores. Isn't your kid just a fast learner?
