Message: [QUOTE="veryolddog, post: 3564341, member: 129"] There seems to be a lot of pressure on above average USA graduate athletes to play professional. And when they get there, it is found to be just like any other business which is trying to obtain the cream of the crop in order to sell tickets and provide entertainment for profit especially here in the USA as opposed to Europe. In addition, unlike college, it appears difficult for them to find the right "fit" where they can thrive and excel. I am sure that there are underlying issues which we do not see that take their toll on these athletes in terms of self esteem. At least they get an education, and maybe, it would be time for self assessment in order to evaluate as to whether or not that they should begin to use that education in order to pursue a career alternative.
