[quote=Anonymous]No reason he can't do both. We all know kids who are fabulous athletes and top-tier students. Some high schools see one or two every decade. Others see a handful or more each year. Looking beyond high school, the Ivy League and Stanford, Duke etc. are full of these types of kids. Many go on to have wildly successful careers as doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, scientists, financiers, even politicians (Bill Bradley, anyone?) My advice: encourage DS to follow his interests and don't limit his horizons by making him choose one over the other. Just keep an eye on things to be sure he's having FUN -- not burning out on either soccer or academics -- and help him as much as possible with organization and time management skills. These are a MUST for scholar/athletes. Good luck and enjoy.[/quote]
