It's interesting to me that you all feel that playing D1 women's lax is such a burden . I say this because my oldest is a sophomore at a top 10 D1 lax program and does not indicate it being overwhelming . I have never pushed her to play ( have always pushed her to well in all she does ) and have always said grades come first and if lax becomes too much just quit. They do miss classes for travel but the time spent practicing , running , lifting in season is not much greater than in high school if at all. Definitely some social sacrifices made if your kid is a big party / drinking kid but they do have some fun .
Well said, I'm thinking its just a few people posting over and over...they would rather have their kids get 14 hours of sleep and get plenty of time to hang at starbucks.
