Reminds me of when my college crew called and invited me on a 30 yr reunion road trip to end all road trips, destination Tijuana. My wife gave me "the look" and said "Fine. You can go if you really want."
No guesswork involved. I didn't go. Our couch is great for watching tv but not for sleeping.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYes but that was then this is now. If you aren't willing to go all in you aren't welcome. Look at how unhappy the women's national team players are. That's probably because they played high school sports.
Maybe that's why they call it "high" school. If you prohibit high school maybe they won't drink alcohol.

No secret about where the Academy train is headed. Don't get on board, if you don't like the destination. The serious elite soccer players understand & wont be deterred.

Look at the bad actors on the women's nat team. If you kept them under tighter wraps the might not hit the bottle or I think wambach admitted to dabbling in drugs.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIf you keep the kids doing intense sports 6 days a week and prohibit them from high school sports and dances then you can keep a better handle on their behaviors. Too much temptation at school dances and bus rides to away games to engage in morally questionable things.
