My older son had an incredible gpa,honor society,national scholar and currently plays college baseball.My young son a natural baseball player and D1 college coaches already have shown clear interest. He is active...workouts,hs practice,lessons,active in church & youth group,a volunteer,a hardworker,but only has 3.0 gpa(B average).Will this gpa be his downfall for a D1 program? Should we narrow down the lessons and activities? We do stress grades and homework...that comes first.So, I wonder if we are sending a mixed message with too much on plate? My older son had the same heavily structured schedule and it has prepared him well for college life as an athlete.I understand every child is different.Any thoughts?
