Had a great talk with my DD last night about her softball goals going forward. Just wanted to be sure OUR dreams for her weren't clouding her dreams for herself. She is first year 14u on an A team with a showcase and qualifier schedule. She LOVES the game and puts in the work and wants to play in college. Her top three schools are Alabama, UNC, and Georgia State University. But that being said, she told me last night that she wants to go where she will PLAY. I want her to get a great education without paying an arm and a leg also. She has NO IDEA what she wants to do as an adult. Because she is 13! I know that recruiting is starting young, and education should be the focus. She talked about possibly playing mid major DI so that she gets playing time. But how are these girls making a decision about the college they want to attend at 14-15 years old when they don't even know what they want to major in yet? How are some of these young recruits out there handling this situation? Do they know what they want to major in or are they deciding a major based on what is available at the school they verballed to instead? She has great grades, is in advanced classes, and has an amazing work ethic. But how do you choose a school that shapes the rest of your adult life when you don't even know what you want to do when you grow up?! I am hoping some of our veterans on here have handled this or know how others have handled it.
