[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heck no. They are idiots for saying so. There are many reasons to do sports unrelated to being recruited to play in college.[/quote] + 1. Sports demonstrates being able to operate on a team, discipline/purpose/organization skills (especially if coupled with good grades), leadership if they rise to Captain, and the ability to deal with adversity when losing. That along with the physical benefits makes sports great for life holistically, not just in college apps. It would be one thing if you kid was doing it for a college advantage but if they really love it and played the sports their whole life it would be a huge negative to take it away.[/quote]
