⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is a rural town in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
A town in the USA has a population requirement of at least 5,000 people. However that can be spread out over hundreds or even thousands of square miles.

Villages do exist (I live in one) and it is generally defined as a smaller incorporated entity within a town.

So, for instance, I live in the country of the USA, in the state of New York, in the county of Allegany, in the Town of Andover, in the Village of Andover. It’s like nesting dolls of government and taxes.

As a pro, you know better than most that any professional athlete should always have a back up plan. Pursuing academics, degrees, and skilled trades alongside the sport is critical for the very real possibility of a career ending injury.

Emphasizing that to your son alongside his play is an easy right move to make. At some point, if his skill doesn’t improve, he will naturally stop advancing in ranks. The reality will take care of itself, and as a father, the emphasis you imparted about other professional avenues will bear fruit without having to deflate anyone.
