[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not realize this was about boys.  Maybe a boy could have a pro soccer career but the chances are basically zero and less then that for girls.  But suit yourselves.  If my kid even gets a gnat of a thought of pulling back on academics to play more soccer I will shut that down so fast.[/quote]

The point is not a soccer career.  If I were a D1 school recruiter, or a law firm partner, or a consulting firm partner, I would want to have a ex-DA kid that balanced playing at that level with a decent school and decent course load over a kid taking 10 AP classes and has no idea how to be part of a team, socialize with others, or commit themselves to something other than hiding in a basement studying.[/quote]

I'd want a kid who took 10 AP classes AND played travel soccer or high school soccer over a DA player who dumped the hard academic work to just focus on playing a game.[/quote]

And who are you... you are not a college admissions office, because I know they want the best athlete with good enough grades and you are not a hiring official because nobody cares about HS.  [/quote]
