[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sort of believed what you were saying until HS sports tryouts started for FCPS. The competition is INSANE and I currently have a kid that has been stressed for a WEEK about(first) what team they would make Fr/JV/Varsity but now stressed about making any of them and decisions are now made next Monday. I realize HS sports are not end all be all and they can, at this point, play for their club(not rec) and still succeed but wow! It sure is intense for a young person who has skills and put work in for years in the DC metro area![/quote] It’s really this. My kid had a slightly different experience but same level of stress for tryouts this week. It wasn’t as competitive, he knows he will make a team, but might never play. He came down with a fever yesterday and couldn’t get out of bed. We were telling him he couldn’t go to tryouts with a 102 fever and he kept stressing he wouldn’t play all season. The stress and competition is real. No, he didn’t go, and wouldn’t have been able to do anything anyway if he attempted to go. We kept telling him that the coach already say him all week and to communicate by email what’s going on. Hopefully it won’t make a difference. There is grit and then there is insanity. I’m sure some in this area would have let their kids go. [/quote]
