Why would you think of your list instead of practice hard, study hard, be on time to classes, be early and stay late for practice and give your best effort. These are things a student-athlete can control.

For everything on the list, I can assign at least one name of someone I know where it's their story.

I'm sure none of them went into school thinking it could happen to them and they all went into school thinking "I'm into this 100% and I'm going to do what it takes, etc."

That being said, it might be important for parents to realize that there's a high probability that everything your kid has worked for, up to this point, might not turn out the way everyone expects.

And, there is a long list of possibilities as to why.
