[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if your DD put all that extra time spent playing soccer into her academics instead?[/quote]

Most if not all of those recruits did.  I know a few from last year.  They were tippy top students in their schools as well as being ECNL players. 
Where they landed has more to do with their grades than their soccer skills.  [/quote]

Correct. Most girls that excel at sports also excel academically. My kid’s team are almost all over 4.0 students. [/quote]

LOL the number of privileged parents drooling over the athletic "excellence" of their kids in this thread is disturbing.  We are glad you are enjoying and able to pay for your kids travel soccer and (and the majority if not all of their expensive college tuition).  Your kids are getting into good colleges because they are come from privileged backgrounds, not because they are soccer wunderkinds.   If you can just accept that, the arrogance meter might go down a notch,   Until that, most people can see the reality.[/quote]

Amen.  This feeds entitlement among the privileged and breeds resentment among the less privileged.  [/quote]

Wrong. You feel you’re entitled. You’re not. You have to earn it. That’s reality. [/quote]
