She was 7th or 8th best player on the team at best

JB, SG, ST, LL and other studs playing D1 soccer now were on that team. Being the 7th or 8th best is not too shabby. What I don't get is how she could be playing high school soccer in CT and win Xgames for snowboarding. The two sports have nothing in common.

Some athletes are just freaks of nature, especially at the highest levels. For them it becomes more a matter of what they are passionate about and focus on. Had she put more into soccer then maybe she could have been a D1 soccer player. Who knows.

These athletes make a lot more money from endorsements. The prize money ain't too shabby tho.

^^^^^While the prize money from snowboarding is considerably less than you'd find on the women's World Cup tour, you are absolutely correct in that Marino is making well into the six figures from endorsement deals.
