[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the only time it makes sense to play a sport in college, is when the student gets a scholarship, plus admittance to a school where they would have had no chance without the sport. I know of families paying full tuition, and their kids are attending a so-so school, plus missing class due to travel, for a sport like field hockey or softball. It makes no sense. [/quote] What makes sense to my kid (and our family, but it really was the athlete's decision)- Chasing goals High level competition for a bit longer Making the best friends Loving the school (a good state flagship they would have probably gotten in regardless) Support and resources for any aspect of college life and career prep Experiences (including grinding practice and travel) that are a privilege Building a resume that shows dedication, hard work, and time management (employers love athletes) [/quote]
