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 .
I guess the kids at that HS lifted in the morning practiced and watched film in a single day? Wow you guys must of been really good and I think all parents say grades come first never heard a pàrent say do great in LAX the grades will come. I guess you never played bàck in the day so you really don't understand how practice was back then compared to today's routine.
