Gods, this rings a bell. My relationship with sports is terrible because there was basically never any effort made to make it fun. I played what I had to and was at best okay. I've not been involved in sports in over twenty years because it doesn't fit into my world.
That's not a desireable outcome!

My eldest understands the need for good diet and exercise. They exercise at home doing various aerobic exercises and crunches to keep in shape. They hate sports at school and there doesn’t seem to be any effort to find the a sport they might enjoy or even just focus on improving their personal exercise regime.
I get teaching time is limited but the impression I get is the kids that want to be in the school teams get the most out of sport and the rest just go through the motions because it’s a compulsory subject.
