[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then it appears that more lacrosse players are unhappy or unsettled at their schools every year versus the non-lacrosse-playing student population.  Things that make you go hmm.  [/quote]

It could be that they let lacrosse considerations drive their decision on where they go to school. Having ignored everything else, they get a lot of surprises when they actually start going to the school.

One of the best words of advice our boys got during their college recruitment was to consider if the school that was recruiting them is one they would want to go to if their sport was not a consideration.

And, the school. looking for lacrosse players (or athletes in other sports) admits a kid that they wouldn't normally. So you are starting with a potential mis-match from the beginning.

Letting a sport be almost a driving factor in choosing a school is almost a recipe for eventual unhappiness and transferring.

And under-estimating the importance of a sport can also. If a kid gets somewhere and realizes that this is a low-energy program where winning is not all that important, they long to go somewhere else.[/quote]
