Could be worse, you could have your kid on one of those "elite" art tracks (think Dance Moms) where the end result doesn't even go through college. Those are the ones that end up selling cars.

So I am not surprised that some people who excelled at athletics also can excel in general. But I went to a div 1 school(as a student not an athlete) and I can also tell you that many of the athletes were also not the best students and have seen them at reunions and kept in touch and they have struggled to be successful at anything other athletics. I am also an executive at a large financial services company and people i have interviewed don't usually highlight that on their resume nor would I hire one candidate who played athletics over one who didn't. Their qualifications and work experience decide. Just my two cents
