12 year old girl who doesn't want to watch sports on TV. Can't be that shocking. She loves playing softball but doesn't care to watch it.
I'm certainly not going to turn the TV on to watch girls sports.
I knew USC didn't play softball, they didn't really play any girls sports other than basketball when I was at USC, in the last 12 years or so they started girls water polo, beach volleyball, girls lacrosse and soccer but I never watched any of the games
I understand that some have already quoted you on the bold above. If your dd doesn't want to watch a college game, how does she know she wants to play in college? I understand the love of the sport but collegiate sports are a lot different than some imagine. At the same age, my dd didn't want to play in college. Her focus was to start on the HS team by the time she was a freshman. Still, her and her friends made it a tradition to watch the CWS. As a parent, if you aren't watching and doing your homework, you have a recipe for disaster. IMO, if you are counting on some recruiting coordinator to do the work, you are working on an even greater disaster. As I've outlined here many times, I can't count the number of times that TB players have been let down by those who were responsible for helping them get into college. My advice to you now is to take charge of her recruitment when she shows an interest. Right now, I'd say she doesn't have interest.
