[quote=Anonymous]My two oldest are recruited athletes at a highly-selective university (D1; USNWR top 10;not Ivy) and our youngest will play for a top D3 in her sport (again, USNWR top 10). Athletic recruiting is always a crap shoot -- as other PPs have noted, your kid can get injured, or the coaches interested in your kid might not be at schools your kid is interested in, or your kid just burns out on his/her sport (yes, this happens). But totally apart from the element of chance, I would really encourage you to encourage your child to pursue some other interest or activity -- not only because it will add to his/her college application "resume", but because this is the time in life for kids to explore all their interests and learn about themselves.
