Can I ask a stupid question?  What happens now? Does she get a salary?  How much would that be about?  Does she have practice 3 nights a week, game on week ends and a full time job during the week?  What does this life look like?  Thanks[/quote]

not the glamorous life you think it is,  [/quote]

Same thing happens to grads of top-notch professional schools and Ivies.  You gotta focus on the full journey, not the ride to the train station.  Our toughest challenge is keeping new recruits focused on the longer haul.  Most cannot or won't, especially many of the most talented.  Let her enjoy it and figure this out for herself.  I don't think real athletes are doing it for glamor or money any more than artists do it for glamor or money.  You do it because you feel compelled to do it, not because you are supposed to do it.  That can keep you going for a while.
