They also like well-rounded.[/quote]

It depends on whether you are recruited to play a sport or not. [/quote]

Which is exactly the problem with the home discussions. DH was a recruited, full-ride D1 athlete, so he doesn't see the lack of any EC's as an issue.[/quote]

Well it’s not if you are a full ride D1 recruit. For everyone else it matters. So you and your kid have to be realistic about their prospects and plan accordingly. [/quote]

I get that. It's just he loves his sport and knows taking on an EC in high school will mean losing it (same coach, club and school).[/quote]
If your DS has the academic stats picking up a meaningless EC instead of continuing his commitment to a sport he loves isn’t going to make a difference. [/quote]

I don't think this is correct.[/quote]
So your plan is to make him dial back or quit something he loves at 13 years old so that he can stuff his HS schedule with ECs that mean nothing to him? [/quote]
