[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never seen a case where this is a choice someone makes. Kids are naturally apt for certain things and not others. [/quote] It can be a choice. I focused almost exclusively on my sport in high school and college. I was too exhausted to do well in school. Yes I went to an exclusive hard to get into college but have had imposter syndrome my whole life because I knew I got in through a back door. I also found ways to get study materials, notes, and other not great ways of getting passing grades. This should not be a goal. If a kid is naturally gifted in sports that is one thing but if they’re just average and need to go to extremes to excel in the sport it’s a huge mistake. By extremes I mean 5-6 days/week travel teams starting at 9-10, private coaching, etc.[/quote]
