[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are many student athletes who straight up quit the first year. Your child has to absolutely live for that sport 24/7 and not want to get an insanely tough BA degree. Even D3 schools make it hard with labs. And on top of every day 2-3 hour practices and your own classes, you have mandatory study sessions, team meetings, etc...  Your weekends are traveling or playing, never relaxing or socializing. There is not much time for other clubs and college outings. It isn’t a one season sport either. Even D3 plays Fall and Spring. Winter workouts with team captains in winter.

My daughter chose an engineering degree at a college she loved over playing her sport D3 in a few colleges she wasn’t crazy about. And it was hard meeting teams/coaches she loved, but wasn’t crazy about the school. Or finding a great school and not jiving with the team. She ended up at a top engineering school and plays her club sport and IM co-ed volleyball. It is the best of both worlds. And event makes a very tight schedule. [/quote]

...for her. Many others love their colleges and their sports experience. Many other factual errors above but you don’t seem willing to listen so whatever. [/quote]
