I checked it in a rich HS for more than 10 years.
They're completely sedentary. A lot of lazy, spoiled, narcissistic and materialistic type of person.
Why they don't have goals in their life?
Why they prefer to enjoy the worldly pleasures as opposite to work hard at classrooms or tracks?
Why in America there isn't a rich guy (rich from his childhood) dominating the mid distance and distance scene?
It's devastating.
Because golf, lacross and polo are more civilized activities.

Are you allowed to fight in lacrosse? Why are the refs allowing those fights? WTF?
Also, great idea to hit people at the base of the neck. Great sport that permits fighting with helmets where the only way to hit someone without breaking your hand is at the base of their neck. Smart.
It's box lacrosse, actually.
In box lacrosse, breaking somebody's leg off at the hip is a minor penalty.
It's only a major if you then beat him over the head with it.
And these are pvssy white-boy fights anyway. When Indians play, they don't screw around.
I'm a high school senior, and I would consider my family to be upper class. I would also honestly consider myself lazy, spoiled, narcissistic, and materialistic... but I do have goals in life, I (sometimes) work hard on the track, despite the fact that I skip half the workouts. I still ended up running 50.x in the 4x4 and 1:58 in the 800, so I can't complain given my horrible work ethic and lack of focus.
You haven't proven your premise. Show some numbers to support your claim that rich people are "terrible at running and jumping" compared to the general population, or I will be forced to conclude that you and your thread are both utterly worthless pieces of shit.
The best high school cross country teams in the USA are from suburban high schools with middle and upper class families.
In the USA it's mostly the Rich kids with lesser athletic talent in other sports who in high school end up going out for xc/track
In the USA it's usually the wealthier public high schools that have the best high school xc/track distance runners. Why is this? Distance running is a sport kids take up because it's healthy and it looks good on the college application. So the kids with solid family and financial backing who plan to go to 4year college are the ones in it.
The wealthy private schools sometimes have good distance running programs but usually they are small teams and compete in their own private school league.

Ever imagine what you could be if you tried?

Holy crap! I had no clue that lacrosse was like that.
