And honestly. Many it’s their parents who like the idea of a dd who plays college. Once the kid is out of the house and figures out it’s her decision. Things change.Something else to think about: I've seen quite a few athletes from our HS go play college ball (VB, BB, SB, ...). Ignoring those who really weren't good enough, most make it to college and do one year, very few of them make it past 1 year, and very very few make it past 2. For most, they like the idea of being a college athlete, but not the effort, process, and sacrifices it actually takes to be one. Limited time off, demanding schedule, eating right, limited drinking/parties are all sacrifices that a competitive athlete accepts.
That’s a pretty good observation!And honestly. Many it’s their parents who like the idea of a dd who plays college. Once the kid is out of the house and figures out it’s her decision. Things change.
I played college football. I play intramural softball and basketball, but played football for the college.I wonder how many parents posting in this thread were actually real college athletes..not intramural or Greek week athletes Just curious is all not asking for a number. Not meant as an insult to those that were not. It is not described as "fun" very often by those who were.
idk…It's tough. If they don't win, they get fired. So they do what they can to win. They don't (seem to) care much about the kid's education, other than not flunking out.
The girls played their first spring games and they played well. One girl pitched 2 scoreless innings and went 0 for 2 at the plate, but made solid contact…just right at someone. The other went 2 for 3 with two balls off the fence. She was absolutely killing the ball, just needs to get the launch angle right and they would have been gone.
They didn’t play as much as they would have liked, but they seemed motivated rather than overwhelmed. Seems to be a good sign that they are settling in.
Little early for spring games ain’t it?
