My two daughters were very good athletes and I am horrified about what this guy did. They were never in any kind of situation like this, but I'm not surprised at those parents who turned a blind eye to what he was doing because they were hoping for an Ivy League nod.

The competitiveness of many parents can lead to very bad outcomes for those young women. The pressure to be the Best is not healthy for them.
