[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I guess all the soccer players in the Dallas area are the children of Neanderthals. Give me a break. Successful people will teach their kids balance. As someone who has hired kids from elite undergrad and grad programs, kids who played DI and maintained a competitive academic profile always fared well in interviews compared to those who did not.

Obviously there are elite DI programs that encourage a balance and those that don't. If your DD has the potential to play at that level by working hard to get there, they are not going to be happy at a D3 program. The great thing about DI are the options. Lehigh and Bucknell differ from Harvard and Princeton which differ from Duke and Stanford but all three will offer you a great academic experience while offering a soccer experience that is ranges from competitive to supper competitive to elite competitiveness.

The kid who is choosing between playing at JMU or JHU isn't getting recruited by Duke or Stanford and may not be able to get into Princeton or Harvard. Between Dallas and DC, which city seems to care more about college prestige? [/quote]

Why go to Stanford when I could go to JHU?  MIT soccer program sucks, oh well guess I’ll go to Harvard and go pro?[/quote]

Do you honestly think there is any overlap in recruiting between Stanford Soccer (a perennial contender for a national championship) and JHU (a member of the Centennial Conference)? [/quote]
