What Would You Do?

We live in an age in which we are told by family, friends and strangers that if our children do not want to participate in a particular sporting activity, we should not force them.  In the general scheme of things, this is good advice. 

Therefore, I have a question for you.  What would you do if your child, who had happily put in the required practices and was really excited about a particular sport, suddenly announced that he/she did not want to do it?
Would you shrug your shoulders and say, “okay?”  Would you ask him/her “why not” and take it from there, or would you say, “Honey, you will be doing it, and that’s that? 
What would you do in a situation like this?
