[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does anyone on this endless thread care about athletes and colleges? I'll answer: because (1) their kid isn't an athlete and they're convinced that this somehow affects their kid's admissions chances, or (2) they themselves weren't athletic and they're still insecure about it. They're wrong about (1) and pathetic about (2) [/quote] The most predictive factor if your kid will be an athlete is if the parents were athletes. So if your kid is not athletic, blame your genes. Many parents on this board are professionals which give your kids a BIG advantage to do well in school and be professionals themselves. Do we tell parents not to help their kids with working the system by getting good grades and test scores. [/quote Makes no sense as it relates to the op. Good athletes should get on good club teams. Good students should go to good schools. [/quote]
