[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD has wanted to be a pro soccer player every year for about 5 years now... before we invest in an Academy, she would have to start to put in a ton more work.  The sports academies are expensive. Also there is timing depending on the sport.   You should make sure your kid is putting in the work and logging the time with SMART goals.  Then, take them to an open house and let them know they will say goodbye to their normal school experience and friends.   If she still wants to transfer to a sports academy or boarding school, we'll cross that bridge.  But I'd make sure it was a sure thing for D1, in order to re-coupe the money.   If your going for a boarding school, be prepared to shell out $50-$90k.  I would need to see some serious work out of my kid, before we send her off to a sports academy in MS or HS. [/quote]
We know several women’s pro players. There is zero need to invest in a dedicated sports academy or boarding school if that’s the goal.  If the talent is there, then work hard enough to be an ECNL standout, and you will get noticed by youth national team scouts and top D1 programs.  Combine that with a serious focus on academics, and you’ll have options, again, if the talent is there. There were 5 women from Stanford on the U.S. Women’s Olympic team roster. [/quote]
