[quote=Anonymous]I suppose what bothers me is that the huge amount of time kids spend on sports (the amount of time needed to be good enough to be recruited for sports) takes so much time away from other interests, such as reading, music, exploring the natural world, etc. I dated a tennis recruit in college and his world was so small -- he knew very little outside of tennis. I think it's sad that these kids are being forced to narrow their worlds at such a young age. I learned more from reading for fun in high school than I did in class. I worry that this trend -- of colleges choosing well-rounded classes instead of well-rounded students (i.e., narrowly-focused students instead of students who've done a variety of things) is short-sighted.[/quote]
