Not really. It's only really football that high school sports the feeder leagues for NCAA/Pro.

The rest are academies, travel clubs, other elite junior tournaments, AAU, and so on. For almost every non-football sport, college coaches don't care anything about what someone does on a high school team.

He has a point that 16 year olds do not need to be playing an almost nhl like travel schedule to develop as elite athletes.
