Re: UML Recruiting, Building for the future
I didn't say they didn't participate in other things. I didn't say every kid burned out. I have observed the burn out in some kids. It is sad because they have been groomed since an early age with the focus being hockey. For some kids that might be ok but I repeat it is a heck of a gamble to have a kid so focused on something that is a crap shoot to excel in when so many of the variables are not controllable. This is only my opinion. There are obviously many, many parents who do not agree and who invest an awful lot- both personally and financially in their belief.I thought this kid came from Cardigan Mountain School. If so, CMS is a junior school, you graduate and move on to high school just like the kids in public school. To counter your burnout argument the kids at these types prep usually have to particiate in a different sport/activity each term. They cannot be one-sported like lot of the hockey players are these days.
