[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you need psychological help if you're seriously asking what sport a 2nd grader should be encouraged to take up for college admissions.  I just spent the entire afternoon watching my second grade grandson doing incredibly acrobatic jumps and dives into the pool, and the last thing I though of was how it could help him get into college!  You've lost your mind.[/quote]

She's not the only one. There were several kids in DD's class at that age or younger when asked what they want to be when they grow up would answer something like I want to play a certain sport for certain Ivy League school.
They are now in HS and one is still on track to do so but the rest switched to other sports and I'm not sure college admissions for sports is not something on the radar as far as I can tell. The parents of the first kid always make it a point to say "they love it" "I wouldn't let them do it so much if they didn't love it" or variations of that but who knows. That is a lot of pressure to put on a child who was 6 or 7.[/quote]
