Well said. I taught at an inner city elementary for a few years. I was amazed when parents of 5th graders with a 1st grade reading level explained to me at conferences that their grand plan for their kid was to play professional athletics. I really wish more people understood how rare an athlete of that caliber is. As they say, student comes before athlete in student athlete.
