I dont know what any of you people are talking about. My son is a completely well adjusted, happy teenager who loves to play lacrosse and is extremely proud of the fact he committed to play college lacrosse and that he got a good sum of money to do it. His hard work and sacrifice paid off and it something he can be proud of the rest of his life. I dont where the "life imbalance" comes in. Furthermore there are lot worse things that he could be doing on summer weekends than playing lacrosse and hanging with his teammates. I understand not every kid will commit and get a scholarship but for the most part whether its D1, D2 or D3 the sport has room for most kids who would like to play at the next level.
