[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a few parents on DCUM who are deeply resentful that many athletes have enormous drive and discipline. It comes out in weird ways. [/quote] Nobody is resentful of you living through your mediocre athlete child. We recognize you’re delusional and even if your kid plays in college, 99% chance it’s a crappy college and they quit after freshman year. THAT’S almost always how this ends.[/quote] do people really think that most travel parent expect their kids to play in college? [/quote] Yes, they brag constantly about their kid going onto play "at the next level." They even take fake "visits" (tours) to prestigious colleges acting as if they're being recruited. There's a 20 page thread about this in the College Forum: [b]Sporty families bragging about offers and committing to awful colleges in the middle of nowhere?[/b] https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/855306.page[/quote]
