[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Congratulations (sincerely) to those of you with All-American  caliber children! To the rest of us who have average and high achieving children we too will survive and even thrive.

Only elite athletes are accepted into elite programs. Several recent posts have again returned to talking about schools and programs that will  send your children to the Olympics or elite university programs. There are thousands of students in this region alone playing high school sports. If your child does not have the natural athletic prowess to be an All-American you can not possibly buy enough private lessons or sports camps to make them marketable to elite college program.

If you love the sport and want to improve their athletic skills for personal enrichment that's wonderful.  However, if you are spending your money and your child's time hoping for acceptance into elite universities you will be terribly disappointted.

Those schools are constantly recruiting and those spots were reserved for elite athletes a long long time ago.[/quote]

Blog Dummy? Is that you? It seems loopy enough to be you, though you’ve managed to compress your rants into actual paragraphs so nice work. Last sentence is my fave. Complete insanity. [/quote]
