We have a girl in our area on the flo list top 10. And let me tell you she is all of the real deal and more. I heard about her when DD joined the org a few years ago. Then I saw her pitch.. It's like a cartoon.. unreal. Something that I've never seen before.
What sucks is that there is no margin for honesty. It is painful for me to talk speed since I give honest/accurate numbers and it's always going to be compared to someone else's juiced numbers.
I've worked with 4 new kids in the last couple weeks... In all 4 scenarios the kids parent told me she was 60, 55, 55, and 52....
The 60 was actually 54, the two 55 were 48/49, and the 52 kid was about 47.... every single one of them inflated the numbers and I don't understand why they'd lie to me... I'm a coach. Did they think I wouldn't gun her?
Jryans dd, who we'll call "Ryan" is the real deal. Lefty with a really good curve/ change combo... will add a lot of value to what ever school that lands her!
In most cases I don't think these are lies, just very thick parent goggles. Their DD probably did hit that speed, once, maybe while doing walk thrus, but that sticks in a parents mind and allows them to justify it.
