Anybody on this thread have a child who is/was a DI sports recruit? I wonder if the bragging/comparing is more intense in that world?



My S is not a recruit but played a sport, so I “lived” in that world every time there was some kind of social event with the parents. Many parents of the top athletes were talking about how their kids were going to do a post-grad year somewhere to hone their skills before heading to college. Interestingly, it was so not what I would want for my kid that I did not feel an ounce of annoyance…although I guess it really is the same thing as talking about your child’s academic prowess.
