[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Put them in a different sport.  [b]Sibling did get a full-ride...but was outstanding..and known nationwide.  He played professional.

do you have any idea what a professional US soccer player makes? [/b] Ha!  Have your kid spend his hours studying instead.

did he not enjoy his time playing or have regrets? i hope he liked it, but then again, how many of us really love our jobs? and if your goal is for your kids to make top money and that they can spend hours studying, then by all means, study.[/quote]

Hindsight is 20/20.  He hated the politics that consumes the sport is the country.  He enjoyed playing though he says he would have enjoyed the college experience much more as solely a student and not a 'ncaa college athlete'.  It is very time-consuming.

He is the one strongly advising me and my siblings not to put the emphasis on sports and not to have them go the soccer route:).  He says be 'happy if you have geeks":).[/quote]

well then it sounds like what he's saying is don't do sport at all - which contradicts your comment [b]Put them in a different sport[/b]. but i digress. grass is always greener on the other side. (i don't have geeks but i'm sure life is not all fun at TJ either)[/quote]
