[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 571282, member: 1550"] The elite players who will go professional do that mostly from college here. But most kids, even great athletes, do not make it professionally because there is way too much competition as we are such a big country. No way will every good or even great athlete make the pros and the kids know this. I actually don't know any kids who go to boarding schools...that is not done here often. It is not even an option financially for most of us. Club teams can help, but the actual scholarships are often right from high school. It's interesting to hear about what other country's folks think of us. It is usually wrong. But our pro athletes are almost always recruited out of colleges. At any rate, the idea of a code of conduct is because it is considered a privilege to play for, say, the WIAA, which is our state's elite conference, and if you want to represent this conference, you have to stick to their rules. But you can find other places to play sports or do drama or play chess or do anything you want to do. We have many, many options. [/QUOTE]
