[quote=Anonymous]High School team sports are meaningless in the whole scheme of life. Just a hobby. are interchangeable. lead to nothing for 99.99% of the population. I'm an older mom, and I have plenty of friends with competitive sports kids. I've watched many of them burn out or get cut from a varsity sport Junior year, and simply move on to a different one Sr. year. I've watched many of them only get a scholarship to a totally undesirable school, and ditch it to pay for the good school. I've watched some of them get a college scholarship, and have it taken away after freshman year after underperforming or getting bad grades. Basically an inordinate amount of time and energy and sacrifice for nothing that couldn't be had from playing club sports. Missing a close aunt's wedding should be absolutely unacceptable.[/quote]
