What is sort of amazing is the fact kids actually ever graduate with the time committed to athletics. Probably 30-40 hours a week most of the time. A teammate now in pro ball, returning to finish his degree this fall, commented how easy school was without baseball. Athletes with degrees should be proud of their accomplishment.
I agree too!
Most of son's friends, now 21, in college have taken on part time jobs to help offset expenses. They are not doing half as well as son.
I am happy my son is a student athlete. If anything it has taught him discipline and responsibility that he will need as he becomes older.
