Hello;
Son has played football past 2 years (varsity lettered both years). Was pressured to switch to Cross Country for this coming Fall (senior year). Not sure if that is wise regarding academy appointment competitiveness.
However, he states that he believes cross country will better prepare him physically (due to the long distance 1-2-3-4-5 miles running) than football.
He has applied to AF Academy, Navy Academy, Military Academy (received presidential nomination, waiting on pn for the other two), AF ROTC, AROTC, NROTC, and will be applying to the CGA.
Any advice for DS? He needs to decide by tomorrow due to upcoming summer sport camps (CC vs football).
Thank you!
