I have recently heard so many people who I thought were fairly educated saying things that I know to be untrue or at least exaggerated or based on outdated information. Here are some examples that I have heard recently and I'd love to hear more.
Not knowing the difference in potential funding for aid between, DI, DII, DIII, Ivy, NAIA, etc.
Thinking any committed kid has a "full ride" in softball -- not knowing that it's an equivalency sport. Maybe you can get a combination of merit/need/athletic, maybe not. Mostly likely not a full ride.
That playing every weekend for many different teams at 12u or the "best teams" is what's going to make or break your future prospects, when the recruiting timeline has been pushed way back for softball.
But, maybe I am wrong. What are the myths or misconceptions you have seen or had yourself?
