[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sporty people and popular people overlap. Because popular people are often extroverted and like to be on teams. Movies tend to idolize popular, competitive, successful people. There always have been other common tropes about non-sporty kids who have fun in high school: band nerds, choir kids, and drama kids are some of them. Remember about the show "Glee"?[/quote] What does that have to do with the topic of this thread? OP, the new normal is pay to play starting in elementary school. High schools don't have the time, money, or space to develop raw talent that hasn't been through the pay to play system. This is why more and more people just focus on other cheaper activities outside of team sports. Or for the same price they put their kids in more niche individual sports. [/quote]
