These stats don't support your point either -- not that many dysfunctional parents might think their player/student is "all that."
The following percentage of high school participants that will play that sport at an NCAA school
after HS graduation is --
Men’s Basketball 2.9%
Women’s Basketball 3.1%
Softball 4.3%
Baseball 5.6%
Football 5.7%
Men’s Soccer 5.7%
Women’s Soccer 6.3%

At least the statistical chances are better for soccer players than for other athletes!
