[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously not all, but you know what I mean. The best case scenario is your teen is one of the top 5% (?) who will get an athletic scholarship to college. OK...well...they still have to major in something. Patrician sports parents get this, but the middle class sports -- football, basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, softball, swimming -- parents rarely seem to. They let the sport just consume their and their kid's life, then they get to college and can only handle communications or sociology.[/quote] The top swimmers on our summer team ended up at Duke, Williams, Cornell, Brown, and Dartmouth. I have no clue where you are getting your information from. Not all but most strong athletes learn time management skills to get their work done and excell in their sport. [/quote]
