[quote=Anonymous]Yes. Daughter started her sport late (middle school) but worked her butt off. She was recruited by several D3 and a few bottom conference D1 schools. She ED1 to her best fit high academic school and was lucky enough to get in. She was in communication with the coach there, he told her she would have a spot, but then a grad student with a year of eligibility remaining who is better than she was offered the spot. She decided to remain with her ED1 school, which we had been strongly encouraging. It was a tense time the past few months bit as I kept telling her, how lucky are you to have these options??

I am a tiny bit worried about next year. Her sport consumed her life the past few years. Academically it was outstanding for her, taught her time management skills and kept her out of trouble. She has jam packed days, a little less now but shes still competing in high school as its a spring sport. It will be a huge change when she’s across the country with 2 or 3 classes a day, no 5am wakeups and tournaments a few times a month. She will have to figure it out, hoping she doesn’t party too much and gets involved with other things. [/quote]
