[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ Basketball program has strict requirements—practice is mandatory six days a week, including Saturdays. On weekdays, students stay back after school and typically don’t get home until around 7 p.m., while Saturday practices run from 12 to 2 p.m. Participation declines in junior and senior years, especially as students confront the academic realities reflected in their sophomore transcripts. Except for very few that manage to maintain decent grades through careful course selections, the rest that continue often do so knowing their grades have already dropped significantly, making the impact of continuing sports less consequential academically.[/quote]

Would love, love, love to know how you know this. Most student athletes can handle sports + intense academics. They get there by doing their sport at a fairly intense level starting in, at the latest, middle school and usually mid-late elementary school and learning time management along the way. I call BS.[/quote]
