[quote=Anonymous]My DS graduated from a SLAC and was a D3 athlete for all 4 years. This was totally his choice. To me, the advantages were an immediate group of friends with a common bond. From this bond, I saw my DS become a leader and a mentor for the younger student athletes. At his D3 school, he also was on the board of some general athletic committee and was an RA. Overall, being an athlete was a great experience for him. A sport can be a resume builder, as well as a network builder. Alumni often show up to an alumni meet/game etc reliving the good old days. The alumni connection can often lead to an internship experience. As a parent, you need to be supportive, but remind them them that school is the main priority then the sport. Finally, my DS is in his final year of medical school, but has a group of college friends (also athletes) are equally successful. [/quote]
