Thanks! She is clearly stuck with me for now; eventually she'll need to separate and rebel, but it has not happened yet.

What sport or activity is it? Parents might give you more insight if they knew what the activity was.

In an earlier post the OP mentioned something about a studio. Sounds like dance or maybe gymnastics.

If this is something your child is passionate about and she has spent ten years working 15 hours a week on I wouldn't pull her just because it will not give her a college boost. If you want her to contribute financially to the sport encourage her to do so.

A letter from a HS or club coach is irrelevant in college admissions and in college recruiting for sports.

Does she do Irish dance? My DD was an Irish dancer, and this reminds me a lot of our situation. I'd love to share some advice.
