[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got my first job right out of graduate school mainly because of my established academic records and accomplishments. I doubt, I would have impressed professionally the search committee with stories about my athletic interests or abilities, or my outdoor adventures. [/quote] My kids -- all varsity high school athletes, 2 varsity college athletes (both at Ivys) and one who will play a varsity sport next year at an Ivy-competitive school -- have benefitted greatly from sports. The time pressure involved in balancing a demanding academic workload with the requirements of varsity athletics forced them to develop focus and a strong work ethic. Sports also helped them become resilient people who can come back from failure to win again. My husband and I are as grateful to their coaches as we are to their teachers for helping our kids become young adults of whom we're very proud. [/quote]
