[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Bethesda player committed to Harvard this year:

Assuming his academics suffered, he clearly made up for it in terms of soccer. [/quote]

Bethesda's DA has sent a few kids to Ivies and other good schools over the last few years (http://www.bethesdasoccer.org/Default.aspx?tabid=216703) and have kids committed to Princeton, Dartmouth, and Stanford on their older teams now.  It's a lot of work balancing the academics and soccer commitments, and kids are frequently up very late finishing homework.  On the other hand, there is less time for partying and other teen distractions, and kids in the system know that they'll have good college options as long as they keep their grades up.

If anyone has kids just starting out in DA (or in other top programs in any sport), I'd really try to hammer the point home to them that they will put themselves in a great position down the line if they work just as hard at school as at soccer.[/quote]
