You dropped out of hockey in your freshman year to focus on your future career as a Wall Street economist. No shame in that.

13 goals, 12 assists, 3.7 GPA

You're more of a scholar than an athlete. Throw yourself into that astrophysics major, get a good job at NASA, and play on a rec league with Neil DeGrasse Tyson on weekends.

15 goals, 17 assists, 3.4 GPA

You've had a good run, but not good enough to go pro. Unfortunately, field hockey is an all-or-nothing game when it comes to going pro…and you're on the nothing side. It's a cold, cruel world.

Your stats are good, your grades are solid, and your love of the game is as strong as ever. You won't be a star player on Team USA, but we bet you'd make an excellent coach at the high school or college level.

You're smart and you're super dedicated. You've been playing at national tournaments since high school and you've got a rep for being one of the fiercest players on the field. If you think that Team USA's head coaches are watching…well, you might be right. Being in the 95th percentile won't get you onto Team USA. You've got to be in the 99th percentile. However, if you manage to up your game by that last little bit, you just might get a phone call. Good luck.

Ever hear the phrase, "one in a million"? Well, you'll need to be exactly that if you want to go pro. Think about the best high school athlete in your district of 10 high schools. The absolute Big Man in the area. He gets headhunted so hard by colleges that he can barely spare time for his school work, let alone friends. Then, he gets into college and is a total all star there...of the 12 best all stars on his team that year. Well, guess, what? Only one of those guys will be a pro in five years...if this is a top class of athletes out of the the past several years. 

So, even if you're in the 95th percentile of all NCAA athletes in your sport, you've still got a snowball's chance in a microwave of going pro. Not to mention actually mattering at all. More than likely, you'll still be struggling to eke out a living on the bench for a year or stuck on a farm team until you're forced to look for other work. We could bludgeon you with more data and stats, but as you dream about success, just make sure you're hedging your bets.

In other words: enjoy that "alternative" career, Shmooper. (#realtalk)
