Harry, how many high school boys and girls basketball, baseball, softball, and football players miss their high school athletics to participate in showcases, combines, etc. The answer is none. Yet the kids that succeed in these other high school sports seem to have a better opportunities to play at the next level because of more scholarship availability. I heard on ESPN the other day that there are 68 men football scholarships available at D1 colleges and 9 men soccer scholarships available at D1 colleges. It sounds like the girl went with her heart and was loyal to her high school team. Kudos to her and her parents. The year round travel for youth soccer is a bunch of BS to line the soccer directors pockets. The top sports in the USA don't see a need to do all of the wasteful spending and travel.
