Your daughter is "the exception". We don't have too many girls from our state that play a couple of years on the R3 ODP Team and get an invite to national camp. Those girls get their pick of the litter.
They can......."have it all".
For the most part, the rest of our daughters have to decide between playing at a small(er) school, or, attending the big-time D1 school, enjoying all of the amenities and NOT playing college soccer.
what i meant by my long winded post is that i think kids that get to continue playing in college can go get an education,play a sport and enjoy their time there. it doesnt alwyas work out but it doesnt always have to be one or the other.
