My granddaughter has several colleges interested in her. She is very excited, however, there is a naysayer in the family. Every time my granddaughter brings up the subject in his presence he makes comments like, "Swimming isn't your life," or "It is a waste of time because it won't get you a job." If she says, "What if I want to be a swim coach?" He says, "Sounds like a hobby, not a job."
My question, what doors did swimming for a college/university open for you after graduation?
Someone - maybe it was Albert Einstein - once said "Great spirits are often troubled by mediocre minds." The naysayer is just that. Perhaps less. I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Brundage, as well as the research he sited. I suggest that you advise your grand daughter to follow her own path and to read the Alchemist if she has not already done so.
Thank you very much.
