    Engineering major conflicting with SB

    I think I posted in that other thread that DD was looking at Mechanical Engineering. After a very nice visit at a prestigious school, I think she will be majoring in something less strenuous. A lot of colleges have different and more difficult admissions policies for their engineering program...

    Who is your mommy, and what does she do?

    I am an Attorney in a small town who has her own law office and is a part-time public defender. I have been looking for some teaching opportunities at local colleges to top it all off....in case anyone needs a criminology teacher...: )

    College Majors?

    DD is looking at Engineering also. She wants to make stuff she says....Right now she is mostly restoring gloves and reselling them. Not sure she will end up in Engineering but that's the plan right now.

    Recruiting Process- Update from the Trenches

    As a parent whose DD is in the midst of the recruiting process, what I am seeing is that D1 schools looking at younger and younger players. DD is a 2016 grad with a very good GPA, AP courses, etc. When she was playing in 14U, the coaches weren't looking that young. Very few college coaches...

    Proud moment :)

    I love these stories. They all sound so familiar. Our girls are definitely a different breed. When DD was in grade school she played all "boy" sports. Football, little league baseball, and soccer. I remember a 9-10 pee-wee football game. DD played cornerback because she was fast and the...

    Is Little League Being Unfair?

    If you notice, at every step in the process, district, state, regional, a host team is included. Its a courtesy for the district hosting the tournament. I think its a great way to allow more girls to participate. Remember, LL is about development of the players and the sport above all else...

    GameChanger App

    That's a good idea. I will try that this summer. I did see GC recently made it possible for you to score head-to-head. I think that would be really cool except it requires a lot of coordination pre-game between scorekeepers. Most times in tournaments you won't have that opportunity.

    GameChanger App

    I have been using Gamechanger for about 3 years now and I have not been able to isolate a particular weekend tournament without going in and changing the game information you want to collect to "Exhibition". You can then select the stats you want to see as "Exhibition". You would have to go...

    Is it a mistake?

    I am letting her make this decision herself. I am not forcing her to play softball, I was just concerned about potential ramifications regarding recruiting from this decision. Regardless, she was playing LAX no matter what we as parents, or other coaches wanted her to do. I am really happy...

    Is it a mistake?

    No, she is not playing soccer!! That is one of the sports she gave up. She is playing LAX - you got it chinamigarden. Her TB team is playing a big showcase schedule and she is emailing colleges consistently with her video and profile. I have assessed what exposure HS ball will give her and...

    Is it a mistake?

    I am coming out of lurker status to pose a question. This issue may have been dealt with before in older posts, so please feel free to direct me. My DD has made the choice this year (sophomore year) to play a different HS sport than softball. She is still playing on a highly competitive...

    Managing diabetes.

    My son was diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes a week before his 16th birthday. He is a soccer player which is, as you know, a very high energy sport. It took him about a season to really feel his way through playing the sport while managing his blood sugar. It is important that they be able to...
