Ron Zook: “Yeah! I Know! It’s AWESOME!”
A sports sociologist/communist derided “recruitniks” and sites like Scout.com or Rivals.com, saying such outside factors cause elite 17 year old athletes to become “hedonistic, materialistic, and individualistic. ”
Yep, never knew a 17 year old kid in the best shape of his life to be hedonistic, materialistic, and (gasp!) individualistic if it weren’t for the strange world of recruiting.
Not to belittle some of the valid points that this sports psychologist (seriously, how do I get a job like that?) makes, but I have a feeling some of the tendencies he’s noticing among the elite and athletic 17 year olds will also exist in a massive portion of the chubby, not-expected-to-do-much-other-than-get-a-middle-management-job 17 year olds as well.
Now excuse me, I have a TPS report to fill.
