[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Majority of CEOs. Well....

There are claims that "95% of CEOs played sports" but the only 'source' for that is not that credible. Quite a few did, but a majority of CEOs? Hmmm....

There was a HBR study of female C-Level executives in business around the world. 52% of them played college or university sport. But again, this is a) only females, b) C-Level, and c) not Fortune 500 only.

Not arguing the with the central point--sports does help build skills that are essential in business such as leadership and teamwork, but the stat "majority" seems a bit of a stretch.

But if anyone has a reliable link (i.e. not the "95%" clickbait story but an actual line by line list) I'd like to see it.[/quote]

There is an enormous difference between "played sports" and "deliberately downgraded education to get a small chance at playing sports."[/quote]

Nobody is suggesting that somebody with a slim chance of playing a sport in college shoudl downgrade their educations.

What is being said is that once somebody know their kids is a top player in the nations, they take less AP classes because they are unnecessary. [/quote]
