Like the arts few actually make it. 1 in 16,000 to be exact become professional athletes. So while our society may pay significantly more attention to sports, ironically those they cheer, in rising but non professional levels, actually often have no future in sports because they too have not been taught how to use their imaginations to create new professions. Athletes suffer from the same issues of if I cannot "play" as a professional and don't want to teach, then what? My husbands daughter, Jennifer, is a sports management major about to graduate and is facing this very issue. She was an accomplished dedicated high school gymnast, is a straight A student, AP'd out of almost her entire freshman year, but has not been taught how to connect her intellectual capacity to her imagination. This is also why I was interested in writing a book with Jason Selk, a sports psychologist, because he faced these very issues and works with many others who do too.

Why are sports so attractive, and so publicly supported, but the arts are forever floundering? Would love to have a conversation about these things... starting here. I welcome any responses.
