I was talking to Junior Hockey coach last year and he told me that one, and only one of his players received a scholarship to Providence College. I asked him how much money did his parent spend to get him a scholarship? He came back with about the same amount as the scholarship.
It’s a bit unfortunate these days that so many kids are pressured to “commit” to one sport year around by age 10-12.
My daughter is married to a PGA golf pro who grew up in that situation and his position toward their kids is just the opposite - have them do everything. He has wisdom.
