Or, the drudgery of the NCAA system (having to go to school, plenty of stuff to do outside of just training and running track) was actually what made her great and the pro lifestyle wasn't for her.
She's obviously a fairly high profile case, but think about how many kids were awesome at the NCAA level and then just couldn't make it as pros despite all the potential in the world. Can't simply be that for all of them they had their best years absorbed by running in the NCAA system.
What do you mean "the pro lifestyle wasn't for her"? Her decision to take a break (not quit) is so she can fully heal from her injuries. It has nothing to do with "the pro lifestyle."
