[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The takeaway is that playing lacrosse (or any other D1 sport) is not all that’s cracked up to be. If you like getting up at 5:30 AM and hitting the weight room while your non athlete roommates sleep in until 10, then it could be for you. Also consider there is no pro league to make millions for lacrosse. The sport generates zero revenue for the schools. Gotta love it.[/quote]

So...if a player thinks she wants to play in college and has the skills and grades to be recruited by the defending National Champion, she will have the following options:

1. Play lacrosse all four years even if it means working incredibly hard, and having a different college experience than classmates who don't play a D1 sport, and competing tooth and nail for playing time that she might never get with upperclasswomen, transfers, etc--while attending a top 20 university;

2. Try D1 top 5 lacrosse, determine it's not the right fit, and still be a Northwestern student; or

3.  Transfer to a school with a better fit after a year or two.

I'll keep searching for a downside other than option 1 is hard.  [/quote]

You won’t have to search long. Ask anyone in the know, they will tell you about the challenging team culture there and at most top 10 teams. At that level, the coaches focus on / care about the starters. It’s one thing to work hard and put in the hours. It’s an entirely different thing to put in all that time and effort and feel like you’re a ghost to the coaching staff. [/quote]

Option 2 still works then.[/quote]
