[quote=Anonymous]Yeah no amount of travel sport will help your child get into a good college if they are just not talented enough. My friend has her kids in a sport since they were 5 and then they did travel as well. Neither of her kids could even get into varsity in high school because even varsity is extremely competitive in the good schools. Athletic ability in a sport is largely an innate talent and cannot be taught. Academically as well some kids are just brighter and can understand new material easily whereas others struggle. Tutoring may help till middle school but by high school, you have to have a strong understanding of concepts in order to do well. Most kids are average and there is nothing wrong with that! [/quote]
