[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This trend makes those families who focused on athleticism as a way to stand out, look increasingly savvy.[/quote] Not really. I'm the parent of 2 college varsity athletes (at an Ivy) and unless your kid is good enough to be recruited and wants to continue playing in college, HS athletics won't really make you stand out. And, even then, your child has to be a really strong candidate w/re to grades, scores, recommendations and essays. Many, many families whom we met as our kids played sports together over the years vastly overestimated how much of a boost their kids would get from sports. [/quote]
