Thanks for the feed back. They put everything in their phone calendar and are generally good at time management, but they are just overwhelmed.
I found out one of their friends quit…a girl they knew before college. This seemed to be very discouraging for them, but they said they won’t quit. They worked a long time to get here and they are going to see it through.
They had easy practices on Sat & Sun and went to a friends parents house to eat, so they said they feel better physically.
As some suspected, they aren’t eating and sleeping enough. I told them no later than 10:00pm the nights before 6:00 am work outs…told them to turn the phones off and just lay down and close your eyes. We’ll see if they do it.
Also learned one daughter hates the food in the cafeteria and isn’t getting enough nutrients. She went to Walmart and got some stuff for her fridge that she can eat, but I told her to get with the nutritionist and buy the frozen meals they offer and store in the freezer at the field house. I’m hoping this helps.
Hopefully they have a better week…they have a scrimmage on Sunday and one dd is going to start at pitcher, so that is something to look forward to.
again, thanks!
What level are they? I believe that NCAA is a lot more rigid on limiting the number of contact hours than NAIA.
Glad they are getting better. I know my daughter just doesn't do much besides softball and studies. If the expectations are to have a lot of free time - this isn't the way to do it. But keep the big picture in mind - 4 years of dedication to studies and softball for 40 years of professional reward. Hope they keep getting better with it!
