[quote=Anonymous]The former D1 players I know have told me: a) physically, it wasn't worth it. It was a horrible burden on them and they are still feeling the pains and aches and will likely all their lives. b) sportswise, there wasn't really a next step for them. One was looking at a pro career but the physical burdens of injuries were a show stopper. c) socially, it was a mixed. They made some very close friends amongst their teammates, but also said they lost out on other college experiences as they were too busy running around to practices, treatments or games or being social with their teammates. d) academically it was tough to balance, but they did get college paid for and now have no debt which is nice. e) career-wise they said some people were very interested to talk about being a D1 athlete in job interviews but they didn't think it made a difference in getting a job. This is all anecdotal from about five friends so not really sure how accurate. [/quote]
