I can't say I agree with this study at all. For all intents and purposes, I was a "jock". I was obsessed with my sport during high school and went on to win the state championship before graduating. I'm also a huge geek. I don't think that makes me some sort of anomaly. I think the whole "jock/prep" vs "dorks/dweebs" deal is mostly a fabrication. Just as false as the idea of the American college experience (Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds, etc) It's simply an attempt to "explain" a mostly inapplicable idea of adolescent social Darwinism where those with athletic ability are somehow inherently against anything different.
