    Random Drug Testing for High School Athletes

    The issue I took to the school board was why is my kid being subjected to them when her teachers and coaches aren't? Obviously it didn't go anywhere but I felt all school personnel should have to live by the same rules, of course they don't, and sometimes I wonder just how prevalent drug use is...

    Another recruiting talk.....

    It was hearsay, but it was hearsay from Pac 12 Coaches.

    Another recruiting talk.....

    25% is the minimum required to be considered a scholarship athlete. Only those that get at least 25% sign and have to abide by a National Letter Of Intent. I heard this first hand from several D1 coaches during my daughters recruiting process.

    how far/long would you drive DD?

    Since she was 12 years old I drove the daughter 1.45 hours to a bigger city in-state about once a week for most of the year to practice. For 18's after getting no attention in Southern Idaho, we went for it, and she made a California team, for almost two years we drove 8-10 hours almost every...

    Any advice to prevent blister ?

    Don't laugh...And it probably wont help after she has the blister, but soaking her finger tips in vinegar for 20-30 minutes everyday for a month or so will toughen the skin up and help prevent future occurrences. If you can get her to do it.

    Tears on the mound

    Look up perfectionism, and read as much as you can about it.

    "A line drive straight to my face" By Ashley Pais

    She doesn't like masks never has, I'll ask you where does it stop, full body armor? Its not my choice its hers. Maybe these poor helpless girls should just give up softball altogether, I mean they might get hurt.

    "A line drive straight to my face" By Ashley Pais

    My feeling is if you want to wear a mask, wear one, if you want to force your own kid to wear one do it, but if the highschool forced my kid to wear one, she wouldn't play.

    Over-Training vs. Proper Rest

    I am sorry SoftballMom2, but I am near the end of my run and am just flat sick of nodding my head and smiling at idiots and losers. I also don't care to be attacked especially over points I didn't make. But anyway your DD sounds much like mine. One thing that has helped us along the way is...

    Over-Training vs. Proper Rest

    Man I wish I had the strength of Bucket Pinata. But I don't, I am sick of the arrogance from some people on this board. Here's the original quote that seems to have some of your panties in such a wad. " Also being sore and taking ibuprofen like candy seems pretty normal to me especially...

    Over-Training vs. Proper Rest

    Thanks for the advice Rockettech1, but as I mentioned you missed my point. I'm glad your routine works with your daughter, and would never think of telling you your an idiot, because of that. I feel like my routine worked pretty well too, and while she has had the standard overuse injuries over...

    Over-Training vs. Proper Rest

    To surmise...very few of you seemed to get the point as I was making. THE KIDS PARENTS KNOW WHATS BEST FOR THIER KID, AND IF THEY DONT ITS NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS. None of you have a clue what kind of routine I work with my kid, or what kind of routine I would recommend for another pitcher...

    Over-Training vs. Proper Rest

    I am pretty happy with where my kid is at, I hope you are too. My kid turns 18 in three months and is making several official visits to D1's over the next month, one of which she will be attending next fall. She has experienced everything I talked about, and amazingly still has an arm. Humpty I...

    Over-Training vs. Proper Rest

    Its pretty hard to have a definitive study when every kid is so different. What I have witnessed personally is great pitchers have insatiable work ethics. You cant force a kid to throw the amount it takes to be great. Good...maybe, but not great. There are honestly so many variables that go into...
