I'd also add that "going pro" is a terrible reason to play sports or to choose any other activity.

He should choose wholesome activities that are worthy of his commitment, inspire his passion, and are suited to his talents. Eventually excelling at any activity, whether it is sports, music, art, debate, or anything else, is excellent preparation for becoming a successful adult.

Going pro should only become part of the picture for a tiny minority much farther down the road.

If "going pro" were the purpose and measure of children's baseball careers, only the cruelest of parents would ever start their kids on a path so likely to end in "failure."
