[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get this... How does excelling at sports pay the bills when you're in your 30s and beyond. Sure, the top 1 percent of athletes will do well...but what about the rest? I get how golf can help in business and sports knowledge can be a social lubricant...but does it carry over through adulthood? [/quote] Agree with this. Skills learned in high level sports will get you as far as academics (assuming you have the basics and arent failing or behind peers.) I would rather my son be slightly above average academically and very above average athletically. If choosing between below average in either, thats a different question. But if they are at least average academically, i would focus on sports. How does being good academically pay the bills? There are countless stories of stellar students who can’t get jobs, have been laid off, or don’t make a living wage.[/quote][/quote]
