[quote=Anonymous]It’s probably true that many families over-emphasize sports with their kids in the hopes it yields a recruitment offer. There are all sorts of reasons that can backfire, from injuries to not spending enough time developing other useful skills. In the overwhelming majority of cases, those students don’t get recruited and perhaps an opportunity was lost to explore non-athletic interests. But OP took it too far. A kid can play sports just for fun with no eye on recruiting and still get the physical, emotional, and social boosts needed to be healthy and happy, which can in turn drive academic success, though that’s not as important as their health and happiness.
