[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 760812, member: 844"] Just an observation/opinion. As a high school teacher, girls handle academics and athletics much better than their male counterparts. I may get blasted but this is what I see. Perhaps it's their advanced maturity as adolescents (NOT an opinion). Maybe it's that pro sports doesn't exist for them for the most part so they are less inclined to put all their eggs in that basket. Also, their identity is not wrapped up in athletics as much. I have known several female athletes who have advanced to college level athletics. Been all-state and/or on a state championship team. But you would never know that in the classroom. They speak of it only if asked. Their minds on on their schoolwork when at school nor do they use practice, travel or games as an excuse for missing work or doing poorly. In my time in education, I have seen 6 (at least) male athletes who were college level in football, some at the p5 level who were not eligible academically. Take this for what it's worth just sharing what I have seen. [/QUOTE]
