| My son had the same reception last year. He initally loved the school and even met up with the jazz director (great guy) and a couple of profs during the summer. But running and the friendships from running are big parts of his life, and he felt that he could get the education he wanted at other top LAC's, so he didn't even apply to Amherst. Funny thing is, he was All-League, MVP, school record setter, etc, etc, not to mention great academics, nice kid, etc. But his opinion was that the coach seemed to want to make him feel like a loser. It might depend on what you are used to. My son's high school coach is super positive, asks a lot of the kids, gets a lot in return. So, my son could see that a coach can be a nice guy and still get results. |
