    Here’s Why Women Who Play Sports Are More Successful

    I see people on TS bashing the level of interest by girls and their parents in girls playing soccer in college. Stumbled onto this article:

    http://fortune.com/2016/02/04/women-sports-successful/

    "Ernst and Young research shows that among senior business women in the C-suite today, 94% played sports and over half played at a university level — suggesting a strong correlation between their success in sports and their success in business. In fact, of the 400 women EY surveyed, 75% said that a candidate’s background in sports positively influenced their decision to hire them. These women put a particular premium on female athletes because they know — very personally — how participating in sports can impact work ethic."

    This gets overlooked when people criticize crazy soccer parents for chasing soccer scholarship dollars for their daughter to play in college. It's not the scholarship dollars that are so valuable - it's the actual experience of a young woman playing college sports. That has a lasting value ten times greater than any scholarship dollars.

      Not entirely - plenty are just crazy and are focused solely on the money or at least getting into a better school that they might not otherwise. And some others want to live vicariously through their kids.

        When you play college sports there is no time for play outside of school and soccer. It's all work.

          College coaches will tell you there's three main things in college - soccer, school, social. You can only pick two. Even many HS athletes tend to be more organized and disciplined with time management then non athletes. It's a necessity not just for sports but any activity that requires large amount of time (serious musicians or dancers for example)

            Agreed. It leaves no time for passing out at parties and waking up in strange places.

                      More successful woman = a better blo*job. Proven fact.

                        Maybe not kicked off the team, just won't see the field in any meaningful game!

                          What is the consequence these days for having an underage player posting with a beer?

                            Successful man = quality of the foreplay

                              Varies by school and coach. Plenty look the other way, others actual enforce their own rules. However, you don't have to search far to see that especially football and basketball players in big programs often suffer little consequence for even criminal behavior, let alone partying.
