[whos your momma]

I am one of the lucky ones. They say that only 10% of high school students play college sports and I would hate to see the number that actually get full rides, that number goes down considerably I am sure. My husband and I both received full scholarships, yes they were coupled with financial aid, grants, and academic money but my parents never paid a dime for me to go to school at one of the most expensive schools in the state. I received a full ride from a then NAIA school. (Transy has since gone NCAA D-3). When I started school there were only 3 full scholarships for a 15 woman roster. Then title 9 kicked in and we got a few more so probably there were 3 of us that got full rides and everyone else got partial. I would highly recommend playing a college sport at any level because of the discipline that is needed to maintain such a full schedule is very much needed when you are thrown into the real world. A lot of corporations actually look for either ex- college athletes or ex military. My husband and I are both in pharmaceutical sales and our college experiences were a tremendous help breaking into this industry over a decade ago. You get your school paid for (either partially or full) and you get to play a sport that you love and you build on things that you will use for the rest of your life, so yes, play a college sport anywhere if you can. It's not easy, but its worth it!!
