[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a study that found that, at least for soccer, most families would be in a better position to finance college if they saved all the money they spent on trainers and tournaments in far-flung places. For all the reasons cited above, including injury, loss of interest, and simple lack of talent. Yes, a few stellar kids get scholarships, but that's really a tiny fraction. I think the study is cited in the book Soccer Head, or maybe the book How Soccer Changed the World. Other sports may be different, I don't know.[/quote] You can't put a price on all the things soccer gave me. The scholarship was a bonus, but I would be a much weaker, unhappier person without it.
