Glad to hear u mentioned “mentality” or mental health of a student athletes.Not sure if u were a student athlete Spaz but your mental happiness is a huge factor in ur success in the classroom and on the field. My youngest transferred after her sophomore year because she was miserable. The “environment “ she was expecting and hungered for wasn’t there and gradually effected her to the point she wanted to quit. Ya I was disappointed in her decision to leave but basically said she would quit before she went back. She was that unhappy!
These kids are expected to move to another state, pass College and live the life of a student athlete away from home and family. Not easy!
If the student athletes are not comfortable with the current or new environment and have the opportunity to play elsewhere, more power to them! Move on!
BTW, haven’t seen my daughter so happy that she made that decision and is in a better place.
