I played Premier League games on the weekends, practiced three times a week, and took part time college classes when I was in high school. I don't regret it for a second and my parents never pressured me into it. Playing club doesn't mean you miss out on everything; it just means you have to be more creative about scheduling =). Believe me; I still did plenty back then.
It's been a while and I can't say the same still stands, but some of the girls I played with have little sisters who play both and it doesn't look like they miss out on anything either.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; [it] is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
