    DD has fractured 4th metacarpal head glove hand, redshirt

    So less than a week before opening day, DD was diving for a ball in outfield at practice and fractured 4th metacarpal. Orthopedist says he’s never seen a break there on a softball player and it was just a freak accident. DD is likely taking a redshirt year, unless she has miraculous healing by...

    Recruiting journey: when DD tells coaches that she committed

    DD is a 2017 committed to a D2. There was a D3 that was DD's front runner for a long time. As excited as she was to commit, she hurt to tell the other school that she had decided to go another direction. She felt like the Coach of the D3 was rude when she told them about her commitment. She...

    7 for 10 today

    In 3 high school games with a triple, a double, 3 rbis, 4 runs, and a walk. Definitely her best hitting in a while. Two weeks ago, local paper awarded her player of week for leadership over the summer workout. I hope her senior season continues to go well for her.

    DD made her verbal commitment today

    Today I took a video of DD calling a coach to make a verbal commitment today. Her dad is deployed so I wanted him to experience the moment as best he could. Not sure what I'll do with my pre-tournament time now that I won't be stressed about proof-reading her emails before she hits send. DD is...

    Finally back on the field after December foot surgery

    DD has hit .400 in two tournaments since her foot surgery. I'm just happy to see her on the field again. She has only been released to play since March 1, but is on the field and competing for the high school track team. She has some mild discomfort from the stretching of scar tissue, but she is...

    Questions for D3 parents

    DD is a 2017 in the recruiting process. I think she has made up her mind on her school (D3), even if she doesn't play softball. She has visited the school, talked with the coaches, watched an indoor practice. There is another school (also D3) that she likes as much as the first school, but the...

    DD has a broken sesamoid bone in her left foot. She has been in a boot and playing through the pain for a long time. The CT scan showed the bone is dead and in pieces.

    Shameless brag: DD hit dinger #2

    DD has a broken foot (minor bone in foot) and it is the second time in two years. Her high school season should be over. Doc tells her that he she should not play, but further damage isn't likely. DD puts orthotics in her cleats, decides the foot feels ok, and hits the field, though noticeably...

    Finding mailing addresses

    Small vent here with apologies in advance. DD met some great college coaches over the weekend. She would like to send hand-written note cards to them. Email addresses are easy to find. Mailing addresses, not so much. I'm trying to help her find the addresses. I'm having a difficult time...

    Unofficial visit an excused absence from school?

    Dad is taking an unofficial visit next week. She will miss a day of school. Is the absence excused for visiting a college before being a senior in high school? Her grades will suffer if she can't make up the work.

    First unofficial visit is on the calendar

    DD just scheduled her first unofficial visit. She is a sophomore. Where does the time go? I'm pretty sure she was playing 10U not long ago. Now she has been an all region selection and her team finished 6th in the state. Ok I'll stop being sappy. What is the most important thing to do on an...
