While sports competition at the elementary and high school level are fun and can be a good thing; it should be just a part of your child’s development.
The probability of high school athletes competing in their chosen sport beyond high school is sketchy at best.
There are more than 450,000 NCAA student-athletes, and fewer than two percent will go pro in their sports.
For the rest, the experiences of college athletics and the life lessons they learn along the way will help them as they pursue careers in business, education, athletics administration, communications, law, medicine and many more fields. Education is a vital part of the college athletics experience, and student-athletes treat it that way. Overall, student-athletes graduate at higher rates than their peers in the student body, and those rates rise each year.
The chart below shows the probability of competing in athletics beyond high school – both college and professionally. These percentages are based on estimated data.
