Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 3010007, member: 62"] I'm not even sure the scholarship is worth it based on the abuse most college athletes take. Again, I think you really need to love the sport to make it worthwhile. Our club has professional coaches for the non-premier travel teams. I've had two coaches at two age levels say that my son is the best player they've had at his age and ask why he's not playing up. Even if that were true (it's not), he doesn't love the game enough to dedicate the time that they would demand without burning out. The overwhelming majority of kids don't. If he doesn't love it that much, is he going to dedicate himself to the extent necessary to play at that level when he's older? Probably not. Pushing him to chase imaginary dollar signs would be to his detriment. [/QUOTE]
