[quote=Anonymous]I was a student athlete. It’s a great experience. It’s hard. It’s rewarding. I wouldn’t say there are perks. But it’s a completely different experience than not playing a sport and the way it’s set up—some kids are benefiting greatly. And I can see this being true at any level. Although the really small schools will have less resources of course. But it’s still about the same. That all being said. I see parents thinking they are making this huge sacrifice for 10+ years and IT IS NOT WORTH IT. It is not worth all the money and time for what I stated above. For it to be worth it the kid needs to make more sacrifices than the parents. The kid needs to want it. It needs to come naturally. Otherwise, the parents are not getting the return on investment. Trust me. [/quote]
