This is just a question that I was asked one time and did not know how to respond except with if he loves it let him continue and support him.
Is there a time when you should tell a kid that this just is not the sport for them and maybe they should move on.
I guess if the competitor is not concerned with the results but only desires the competition and experience then no. If they continue to pursue competition it must be providing some fullfillment to them. I think only the kid should answer that question. That being said there may be some economic impact and a choice would have to be made.
