Here is an interesting question. You are the parent of a good softball player who dreams of playing college ball. She is athletic and while not the best player on the team, she is mostly a starter.
Would you prefer to be THE big player on a less competitive team (Big fish in small pound) or to be just one of the players on a very competitive team (small fish in a big pound)?
Is it different for position players and pitchers? What are you thoughts?
Personally, at the younger level, I think you need to play more and learn how to be the best and as you get older and mentally tougher, you can look for bigger pounds with bigger fish in it. But it can vary greatly.
