Marriard and Slugger- thank you for the blast of fresh air, You have removed the last of my pre-college delusions!b
Vic- it looks like the answer to the big question is “it all depends”. Like you, i live in an area where softball takes a back seat to EVERY other sport. The HS team typically underperforms, the coach means well but he is one of those guys you either love or hate. Few TB players and even fewer, if any graduating seniors go on to attempt college softball.this year DD was not on the team but intends to go for a walk-on position at her school (not a strong D2 that has no softball money and has a history of not recruiting) only one other player is looking to play ball in college. Good athlete, good catcher, poor hitter. Going to a fairly strong D2 program where she too will have to try out in the fall .
The ride has definitely been a rollercoaster with the last two years being particularly challenging due to health issues. At the end of the day, i just want DD to be in a happy place and have a happy life. I think her plans will bring her to the happy place, but she has tied softball in with those plans. So we’ll see.
