I missed it. I actually traveled almost 4 hours for this tournament - I offered to do DD's laundry in the hotel because I knew she was going to be pressed for time to get it done with games kicking in full gear and doing homework. I picked up her laundry (her school was halfway point to where...

My report: DD seems to be really thriving well in college atmosphere. She has told me that she has surprised herself at her tenacity and drive to push herself in workouts and practice. She texted me yesterday excited about running a 7:40 mile (fastest on team by one second and her PR is 8:12...

Nike and Rawlings - the uniforms/gear will be Nike, and their bats will be Rawlings - I am guessing this will be the Rawlings Quattro? Anyone know anything about this bat? Reviews online seem good so far.
DD tried on several gloves including the Heart of Hide, Mizuno Elite, Wilson A2K, etc - she fell in love with this one?? I see no reviews on it, and I wish I knew more about it before making the purchase.

She finally committed to a D1 Juco program last week after visiting 5 schools - 3 offered full, 1 offered 80-85% and 1 offered a meal plan :rolleyes: . She is very happy with her choice and is really excited to move forward. However, she has asked to take off from travel ball for the last two...
DD is a top student at her school - class rank 26 out of 840 students; good SAT/ACT scores; has volunteer and extracurriculars on resume; etc. School is good academic school and is sought after by international students for their value. Because DD didn't take enough AP courses, they declined...
She has had Mizuno and Nokona. Loved the Mizuno first two times, liked the Nokona but got floppy - has team Mizuno - has no padding - feels smaller than expected. Thinking she should just go back to Mizuno but has not tried other brands like Vinci.
Also, I think she has life left in Nokona...
So DD has been getting emails from coaches saying they saw her at xx tournament/camp, and they say that they want her schedules to start actively following/watching her. And then conclude email with invite to camp with form attached...
Surely this is genuine interest and not a ploy to get...
I am researching costs of rental cars for Colorado, and I am absolutely outraged at the inflated costs for renting a car at the airport versus taking a taxi (or Uber) to another rental 12 miles from airport. For 6 days, I was quoted between $600-800 to pick up rental from airport. So for a $30...
So DD is seriously contemplating not playing next year...she is beginning to believe it's really not worth it. She hates the thought of missing signing day, but right now the negativity is outweighing that special day. i.e. the coach harassment, players bashing her, etc. I encouraged her to...
