[quote=Anonymous]I am actually former Ivy League athlete myself with kids in AAP now. Athletes can be smart too (why do I even have to say that?) Great things come out of sports including many real world applicable skills such as working with other people (of course you can gain these skills in other extra-curriculars too). I don't academic prep or athletic coach my kids. Don't worry about the fringe people - the ones you really have to worry about, to the extent you're worrying about anyone (I'm not), are the ones who weren't prepped or coached - those are the ones that are really talented IMO. I really like this article about over coaching kids in sports: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/11/opinion/sports-should-be-childs-play.html[/quote]
