athlete's at WP

<p>My daughter has been contacted by a coach about attending WP. She is very athletic, does well at her sport, and is a leader on her team, but I am worried about her getting through the vigorous plebe training. Am I an over concerned parent? Do the athletes have it easier? Thanks</p>

<p>Depending on the sport, athletes on Corps Squad teams (West Point’s Varsity teams) could have it a bit tougher at times during Beast. For example, if she is a cross country runner, she will have pretty rigorous cross country practice after her long day of New Cadet training each day. Then again, if she is a runner, she ought to be in pretty good shape for Beast :). It will be a different experience for each new Cadet, but if she is in good shape she should be fine physically.</p>
