[quote=Anonymous]Only if they want to. Also Learned sports it is more important. Golf, Tennis, Ice Hockey, Baseball you really need years of training.

Other sports not so much. I transferred schools to a D3/Club type school when I was 19 and to my shock I got offered a sports scholarship to a sport I never played.

I thought it was a scam until coach asked to meet with me. I go what the heck nicely. Well he goes we are short on practice squad on defense on Lacrosse team. You will never play in game unless emergency or out of playoffs garabage time.

But I asked players to look around for any new students or transfer students and since you are six foot two inch around 195 pounds in shape on them talked to you and said you ran track and cross country in HS and can run. 
He said I just need a guy your size who can run a lot in practice like 20 hours a week and be big enough to take hits playing defense. Bascially a tackling dummy.

So I was suprised. They were coding it some BS merit thing so free tuition. I was a commuter. My Mom was like so they are going to hit you with a stick 20 hours a week, if you got hurt you wave all rights to sue or get paid medical, and it says you have to quit your part time job during the season? I said yes. She was like forget about it you are almost on full financial aid anyhow.

But my friend did it and guess what he got really hurt sophmore year and they canceled the scholorship.

there is a dark side to sports. I dont now why parents push in particular contact sports on people no really that talented. They are just the tackling dummies.                  [/quote]
