[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the AD, it’s the admin. Visi doesn’t care about sports and they don’t help good athletes get admitted. SR admin and admissions help their coaches. The formula is pretty simple. [/quote]

Exactly this. SR is a well-oiled machine and it shows. [/quote]

Can’t speak to SR’s admissions process vis a vis athletes, but this is a crazy comment re Visi. Visi has tons of outstanding athletes and has years of strong athletic performances across many sports. I don’t think any private schools in the DMV offer athletic scholarships so if you are thinking if only Visi gave athletes financial assistance you are barking up the wrong tree. Different schools have different resources for offering financial aid and families choose the school/aid package that works best for them. A huge percentage of the kids don’t even qualify for aid.

And yes there have been teams that have “underperformed” but we are talking about high school kids sports—these are not professional athletes or even athletes at top D1 schools (although a good number from Visi will go on to play at top schools). Also please remember that coaches are paid garbage salaries at best, small seasonal stipends are the norm. Some coaches are the right fit for a school culture, some are not. Some have a great grasp of the game, but aren’t able to connect with the kids (or vice versa). Finding the coach who ticks all the boxes AND is willing to endure abusive parents while getting paid  peanuts is extraordinarily difficult task. [/quote]
