turnerhome5: another point…this is where prioritizing enters into the equation of figuring out what to do with the rest of our lives, or at least what to study. He gets to make a choice as to whether he wants the freedom to do the athletic activities he loves as a participant, or whether he can content himself with spectator sports and remain disciplined for his music. Certainly he needs to take care of his body in terms of physical conditioning, but the risk factor is very real, and he has to decide where he will make his personal sacrifice. His music professors would be furious and most intolerant if he misses the orchestra concert because he has banged himself up playing club basketball…they will not cut him any slack for making that kind of choice.
