<p>I just found this thread and want to say to mam- thank you for your post - it gave me chills (in a good way). I currently have a Div1 athlete who is making an effort to experience friendships outside of the team, including sorority and non-team roommates (to the chagrin and disapproval of her coach), and your post confirms that this may pay off in the long term.</p>
<p>To bessie, based on my experience, this post is spot on! :</p>
