[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm so sorry, OP. I'd never want my kid to be a college athlete. I'd rather they have a real college experience.[/quote]

You're a jerk. Being a college athlete is a real college experience, just a different one. [/quote]

I think OP is the jerk,[b] making the assumption that this is an outcome most people want,[/b] when the opposite is true.

Why would anyone want their kid to be a college athlete? Those schools OWN your ass. You live a sequestered life, a tightly controlled peer group, have no real free time to experience the other activities the college has to offer.

I know a few kids who did it and basically quit and transferred after their first year.

I'm happy for OP's kid -- if that's what her kid actually wanted and wasn't pursuing it out of pressure from mumsy and pappy. But I honestly wouldn't wish the experience on anyone. To be honest, they should abolish intercollegiate sports, IMO.[/quote]

Huh? OP is posting this here for people who DO want the info. Obviously. If you don't care about getting your kid into D1, why click or read or respond?????[/quote]

Also to add on, if your kid doesn't want to play soccer at the next level (college or professional), why are they playing travel soccer?[/quote]
