Parents are really an underrated part of a team. My DD's hitting coach shut her team down after 2 years of running it. Her reasoning? Parents were just to hard to deal with, she wanted to teach kids the game not put out fires every week with the drama.
Really sad and very detrimental to the league. IMO this won't help. The media, owners and commish office let them (the players) down. My thoughts!
But really there should be two divisions, east and west...to bad the California money people won't step up and buy into the league too! Until that...
LOVE that!!! lol
My DD started in OF and hasn't been able to move out of the position. She is short, a big hitter and on the slower side (3.0 home to 1st which isn't blazing speed). Every time she plays on a team she gets put in the OF. Her new team she just made, she told the coach I'm a...
This is just about the key to getting money from any school. It is still flattering having a school persue you to play for them reguardless of how much money they throw around. Getting to go somewhere you love and play a sport at a high level while doing so has to be an amazing feeling.

The beauty of the Olympic's is you get to see odd sports that you don't normally get to see played at the BEST level. In two weeks they are over for 4 years and best thing about it is, we don't even have to watch.
I've also got to see one of the best soccer games in my life, Alex Morgan...
At least 88 official games over this last season and probably 10 scrimmages (full games) that didn't count officially. She missed 6 games due to a concussion.
Lots more than I remember.
My thoughts too! The cost of these building and subsequently what happens afterwards are not very favorable to the countries putting out Billions of dollars.
Very good ideas and point.
