[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my DDs was cut junior year and decided to run cross country instead.  She ended up doing really well and went to the state competition with the cross-country team. If she is willing to try running, the new runners end up really improving their times throughout the season. Also, in our school, the team does bonfires and lots of social activities, and since it is co-ed the kids have so much fun.  My other DD made varsity as a freshman and high school soccer has just been cutthroat and stressful for her, a much more intense atmosphere than cross country. [/quote]

This OP. [b]As a former college athlete, I always rather looked down on cross country and track.[/b] My DD got fed up with soccer in high school. She was a very athletic kid, but psychologically just couldn't deal with the pressures of soccer anymore and it was making her feel awful. She switched to cross country and track in her senior year and the only regret she had was having not discovered it sooner. So much more supportive. You can kind of pick and choose when you compete on the weekends, if academics need to take priority, and you stay active and fit and off screens for a couple hours each day. I really recommend it. JV as a junior could be pretty demoralizing.[/quote]

Please elaborate on this statement?[/quote]

I play real sports.  Not trying to be the best at exercising.[/quote]
The best athletes play multiple sports. Track and cross country are actually a great cross training complement to Soccer.[/quote]
