[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was all of you 2 years ago. Curious about other clubs and the scores of their games. Know what I learned with my soccer loving DD? It was fun for her and all of us but once college hits it all barely matter. btw, she is playing in college. It is not what you think it will be.[/quote]

What do you think [i]we think[/i] it will be?  Here's what I know from two girls that play(ed) in college recently.  Both at a high level (D1 and some national team and/or pro-reserve team experience).

1) It doesn't help you academically.
2) It doesn't help you land a job (outside of soccer).
3) It consumes A LOT of time between practices, travel, and games.
4) It's physically demanding.
5) Its fun and fulfills the need to compete at a high level.
6) Its something many others don't get to do, so in that sense it is a once in a lifetime experience.
7) Its something many others don't get to do, so you can feel proud and maybe boast a little bit.
8) You'll make some new, sometimes lifelong friends. You'll also meet some teammates that you just don't get along with.
9) It may or may not help pay for [i]some[/i] of your college expenses, but not all of them.

That about sum it up? [/quote]

re: 2) I've known a couple that were selected for jobs out of hundreds.  D1 athletes.  I don't know if them playing D1 ball was the reason, but I'm sure it didn't hurt. Similar to getting into college.  Doesn't hurt to have a lot on your plate at high levels and be good at them.[/quote]
