Reply to "Did I make a mistake?"

ProudSoCalDad,
You did the right thing. I wish I had pushed my son toward the honors classes. I thought the higher GPA would be more beneficial than the honors classes and pushed him toward the GPA. He graduated from HS with honors and received the athlete/scholar award from his HS because of his GPA and athletic ability -----BUT---- He was recruited on his baseball talent and not his GPA. No doubt the honors courses in HS would have helped prepare him for college academics and would have not have had ANY negative impact on him being recruited.

Understand too that colleges are different. There are weak baseball colleges and strong baseball colleges ---- There are also colleges with very high academic “requirements” well above the NCAA minimums. The phrase “student/athlete” varies greatly from college to college. There are many student/athletes in this world but very few that have the athletic ability PLUS the academic strength to play AND study at EVERY college.
Fungo.
