[quote=Anonymous]I really appreciate seeing that post again.  My son played basketball on a very winning team in junior high but he pretty much rode the bench.  We've always tried to develop him in a well rounded fashion.  He plays music and working on his eagle scout with the boy scouts.  Long story short I don't think he will survive sports much longer.  I don't mean to be negative but sports may not be the right thing for him right now.  I think he may be comming around to seeing this point.  I do beleive he will make the freshman teams but not much more than that.  The assistant principal can't think of his name right now explained that Speech and Debate will be very time consuming and it is not a good mix for sports.  At the mom's breakfast when I mentioned sports they all cringed. It made me think the kids in search of getting into really good colleges like the onces mentioned in this previous post are anti sports? The topic at the table that morning was where each mom's child was applying to college. Parents of athletes did not talk about getting into good colleges as much as they did about getting a college scholarship to anywhere whatsoever.  That told me a bit about the environment.  Apparently there are kids who are serious about getting into college and some who are trying to establish athletic careers.  Schools public and private tend to seek out the best athletes and I guess in the end you would need a school that is serious in academics to be noticed.  So we will see how things are playing out for him.  I just think he is a much better musician than he is athletic.  [/quote]
