[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you assuming travel sports parents ignore academics? My kids play travel sports and make excellent grades.  [/quote]

Because they think that if soccer Larla  says she’s going to a “mediocre” college, it MUST be because larla had terrible test scores in easy classes. Nevermind that I can name dozens of kids who went to small d3 schools because of excellent merit aid, small class sizes, and close-knit community, but DCUM prefers to judge from afar. [/quote]

Oh yeah, after 12 years of obsessive travel sports, who doesn't dream of the big payoff of playing in front of 6 people at an insolvent podunk college in nobodyville, USA. :roll: And those kids always quit after one year. Once they leave their helicopter travel sports parents they get bf/gfs, they party, they don't want to practice anymore and piss away weekends traveling to other podunk colleges for meaningless games.[/quote]

Your kid is not the celebrity you think they are. MYOB.
