[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any benefits to going to TJ for the sports over say, enrolling to St. John’s or Gonzaga?[/quote] Sure. At a St. John's or a Gonzaga, you will constantly see coaches trying to recruit kids that are better than yours. And if they matriculate during their sophomore, junior, or senior year, your kid is out of luck. You're also probably going to start out on Freshmen or JV teams at those schools (or, frankly, at larger base schools). If you are a very solid performer with experience at a high level in a team sport at TJ, there is a very strong likelihood that you will be an impact varsity player from day 1. A previous poster overemphasizes the extent to which athletes struggle academically. Most of them actually report being stronger students during their sports season because the lack of free time enforces the development of time management skills that are broadly applicable down the road. What sport is your DC interested in?[/quote]
