unfulfilled promises

A recent high school graduate, a soccer and softball standout, has decided she doesn't want to play sports anymore.
There are a number of reasons.
But is one of them the fact that a scholarship never materialized?
Was she told from the day she began excelling in sports that she was scholarship bound?
We need to stop telling kids at 12 that they can get a scholarship with hard work and dedication.
It's often not enough.
How many times does it need to be said that just ONE percent of high school athletes get Division I scholarships.
Failure to get that full ride is keeping kids from enjoying just being an athlete - and a kid.
