[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The truth of the matter is that parents who have talented athletes have a hard time saying no to their passionate sons who LOVE the game and want to play so badly.  I have a friend who said she would never let her son play, but it turns out he is supper talented at the game and now she is letting him do it.

Keep in mind there are pretty high concussion rates in other sports like hockey, lacrosse, wrestling.

Glad my honors student with a 4.1 GPA is not much of an athlete.  His extra curriculars are more artistically based (theater, music, etc.), but he manages to get enough exercise to stay in shape playing rec sports and swimming in the summer.  I feel bad for the jocks who have to rely on their sport to gain access to a good school.[/quote]

Good grief, what a condescending post.  Surely you must know that plenty of phenomenal athletes are also honors students?  SMH.[/quote]

Yes. She'd be sad to know my 6th grader taking Algebra 1 is an outstanding soccer player as well.

Many of his teammates are in the AAP program too.[/quote]
