[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Most athletes who are successful in their chosen sport spends hours and hours of training and have the discipline & work ethics to be successful.  [/b]

Having a specific skill - a sport, musical instrument, singing, dancing is MUCH more rare than a kid with high stats.

Scarcity creates demand thus colleges will fight over an athlete much more than a kid with 1600 SAT/4.0+ GPA.

I have one kid who is academic and another who is athletic but I guild them not to be defined by it.  You are more than your grades, school or sport.

Be a good person and kind to others![/quote]

This x100
My son is a recruited athlete. He also has (at the moment) a 4.43 GPA while balancing studying and at least 22 hours of practice and games a week.
He never says a word but I see some of his peers that pull down just as high a GPA but do not have as a time intensvie extracuricular and think that they have it so much easier.
So, to update the OP's thread title "Athletes have such an edge and so do the kids who do not put in the time away from studying that the athletes do"[/quote]
