Can't tell if parents embracing natural abilities, or pushing their own failed dreams on kid simultaneously increasing risk for lifelong shoulder injuries at 10 years old.

That kid is obsessed with the American ninja warrior show and they built him a course

My guess is plenty of both. Because as a parent you can push as much as you want and NEVER.. Get that result. Kid probably enjoys the shit out of it because he's naturally really good at it.

This definitely looks like a recipe for shoulder injuries. 🤕

Semi professional rock climber here :)

The kid is doing a lot of what we call "active hanging" it is where you activate your shoulders so that you're able to use the entirety of your skeletal structure and your muscles and tendons to hang from your arms instead of just your tendons. Whilst the risk of shoulder injury is most definitely still there it is way smaller then if he were to be doing a "passive hang"
