[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are all crazy. If she wants to continue because she likes it, and you can afford the 5K to keep playing, let her play. This attitude toward doing everything as it relates to college admissions is kind of silly and overblown. Yes, it is super hard to get into college - if she the academics to Ivy League, it won't matter if she does sport, theater, academic team or whatever as long as she does something - which seems like she wants to do that![/quote]

Because of injuries, before junior year of HS our DD had to quit club soccer after playing it since 3rd grade. She sunk into a deep depression, when coupled with the difficulty of HS junior year, made for a few rough months. She was literally in mourning - couldn't even watch soccer games on TV because it made her too upset.

Please don't discount how much playing makes her happy. Maybe SHE will decide to quit one day, but it should be her decision, and not based on some amorphous idea of what you think colleges are looking for.[/quote]
