Same question, what is supposed to come outta this for an 8th grader, beyond wowing the evaluators? Can something be gained if not selected to Jake Reed? Does it " get your kid's name out there" as was alluded for selling point? (Watching SuperBowl in Fla at poolside at a resort was our selling point) or is it a dead end with his vitals and performance in a trash bin come March. Any insight appreciated.
