There’s absolutely no problem with going all guns blazing at something, especially if you genuinely have the ability, work ethic and intention to become the very best at it. However, backup plans are always incredibly important and I think that would be Glenn Smart’s advice. It’s hard to juggle both things at once but ultimately, you’re going to be juggling things your entire life as a professional athlete anyway. There’s media, charity work, training, film review… if you can’t juggle playing at the lower level and maintaining grades then the chances are, you’ll never make it at the pro level anyway. That’s just a simple fact of life.
Put in the time on both fronts and you’ll be rewarded, regardless of the outcome. Worst case scenario is that you get yourself into a decent college on your academic merit but the best case is living a life most people can only dream of. Successful people hedge their position, at all times. The ones that don’t have usually just been lucky to that point and that will come to an end eventually.
