[quote=Anonymous]My brother was a recruited football player. He had a learning disability that made it tough in college. No extra training back then, no parental involvement. The kids knew who was going to make it. A family member was a D1 lacrosse player and a pro but there’s not much money in it. And more than a handful of college hockey players in our family and friend group, some made it to the pros. One friend absolutely blew it for misconduct. These players all had natural abilities in speed, strength, agility, endurance, born athletes. None of them were top scholars even though half of us had parents who went to Ivy League schools. They weren’t athletes. Nobody had it all. I would choose academics over athletes . You can focus on sports every day after school and on weekends and it’s still doubtful that you will be recruited and go pro. But you can focus on academics intently and it will pay out. [/quote]
