[quote=Anonymous]Was at an alumni gathering for my MBA program recently. There are some very successful people from my class - CEOs, private equity guys, MDs, etc. Many, if not most of them, were college(and high school obviously) athletes. While I can't say I did a scientific study I'd say there was a pretty high correlation between college athletes and success. Of course most of them went to Ivy or other top schools so got a good education too. I do think there is value in high school sports. And to the PP who thinks being a JV captain is on par with the kardashians, I will say that my DC learned more about leadership and team/people dynamics being a JV captain than any class could have taught.
