[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fencing is not that hard to get good at and it is one of the easier sports to check the box with for college [/quote]

Can you just stop? It is obvious you have a personal issue with fencing. You magically appear on DCUM with any mention of the sport to find a way to diminish it or anyone associated with it. It's not for everyone. Clearly it's not for you or your DC, which means you or your DC have invested little if any time in understanding it, which means you have zero knowledge to speak on it, which means you are adding zero value with respect to OPs question. Move on. This is getting old.[/quote]

Stats don’t lie . 30 percent chance for a high school fencer to compete at college level. Lol[/quote]

The same stats show a 17% chance for a male gymnast to compete at a college level.  Are you also going to say that it is easy to be a gymnast?

You have to distinguish between participating in the sport and actually competing in the competitions.  It is possible to both have it be easy to be on a roster but extremely hard to be on the actual competitive team.  Which is how it should be -- not everyone wants to be a hard-core competitive athlete, but still might enjoy the collegiate sporting environment or helping the overall team train.[/quote]
