[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to a school like this….catholic powerhouse. My advice is…you’re not going to star in 3 sports like back in the day. Pick the 1-2 you think they have an opportunity to contribute on varsity as a junior and senior, then work your tail off for 4 years.[/quote]

When would you know?

And what if it’s a situation where 
1. He LOVES football but the chance of actually playing is so low. Really good kids are on the second string and no one makes V until J or Sr. Year. We are frequently state champs in a very competitive state

2. Has a second sport he could probably that has much less competition and he would likely make V team freshman year but does not get as much attention as 1. It is also very fun and he competes now as a national level in MS

Same season!

I would go with the non-football sport unless your son really prefers football. I think it is more fun for kids to do sports or other activities where they actually get to participate. My family stumbled on this by accident when one of my kids randomly chose an instrument not many people play (ex: bassoon) but we have had the same experience with sports. Better to be a big fish in a small pond in most cases. I also think it is a good rule of thumb for life - go where you are wanted and your unique skills are a good match for what is needed. Don't try to force something that is not happening. [/quote]
