[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of this is impossible, it's just a combo of parents being super involved and kids buying in, i.e. motivated. Most parents are too hands off, let their kids dick around most of the day. Or think being super dedicated to one (travel) sport with As and Bs is in any way impressive to colleges (it's not).[/quote] My child does a sport everyday afterschool. He is not a superstar with private coaching etc. This precludes most major club involvement. He does one other activity...granted it is scouts so it takes up weekend time too..but that is it for him. He has very little downtime in the week..granted he does get to bed at a decent hour (10?). He already has conflicts between sport and scouts. I look at that list and think either most of it is only done half way (not at all?) or majorly supported by parents or the kid is up till 3 am everyday.[/quote]
