[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please tell your kid to study a worthwhile major even if they are a recruited athlete. With the exception of ONE young woman, in our area recently - all the super stars have flamed out spectacularly. The 4 or 5 kids sent (nominated by coach) to National Training Camps, Advanced Development Programs with Spirit, Youth All-American, then on to D1 top soccer schools - are now trying to find spots on USL teams or find a job with that Media Communications degree. Or psychology. No, you wont be a psychologist without more education and your eligibility has expired. What a waste of 4 years. [/quote] Good advice even if others on this thread don’t want to hear it. For those that don’t want to listen at least teach your children these important words …. “Do you want fries with that?”[/quote] Yes, the rich parents with successful businesses or professional careers kids are destined for life on the low end of the economic scale because they're putting in the effort to become a professional soccer player. [/quote] Daughter of the KC Current owners just left Duke after being a sub as a freshman to turn pro and play for KC. She will be just fine.[/quote] She was going to be fine anyway. Her parents are loaded. Also, her parents OWN the team she signed to play for. Is that a coincidence? It probably is not. That's kind of like marrying the business owner's daughter and being fastracked to upper management but you still gloat about how you must be so amazing at your job.[/quote]
