[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's surprising how triggering this post has been.  I personally don't find anything in it offensive. Some parents invest tons in private training and camps and sacrifice other family time for what reason? What is the goal?

I think that's what the question is meant to ask and the answer seems to be because the kids enjoy it and it's fun to play in college and not because there is a soccer oriented career in mind.

I don’t think anyone is triggered. It’s just a really stupid question.  Kids have all sorts of reasons for wanting to play in college in addition to love of the game. Some like the community aspect of being on a team. Some are aiming for an admissions boost to get into top academic school. I know several kids who were aiming to go pro but hedged their bets by playing D1 at top programs.

I also find it impossible to believe that most of the former college players OP knows are now coaching youth soccer unless OP’s circle of acquaintances is tiny. [/quote]
