[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can tell you why—team sports prepare kids for the real world better than any class or school. It teaches them that as a member of a team, they often need to sublimate their personal desires to the overall goals of the team ie WINNING. That’s why corporations, Wall Street and Tech beat the bushes to find these kids. And I know—4 DI athletes among my children and those that are out of school have been presented with incredible work opportunities. One is now already giving back to her college because she can. [/quote] That's nice but that is a pollyanna view. These college coaches want to win. That can be at direct odds with some of the educational desires of your athletes. Need more time for labs, papers, difficult subject matter, an important professor that's class conflicts with an athletic commitment? You are out of luck. Put sports first or get off the team [/quote]
