To all the parents that have been through the TB scene and those going through it now a few questions for you:
Is playing TB the best way to get daughter recruited?
Is a better option getting private hitting/pitching lessons and going to camps/clinics of schools that she is interested in attending?
Is High School and private lessons enough? Do we really have to sacrifice most Summer weekends traveling all over the Northeast for game experience?
I must admit I don’t mind traveling to practices and games if there is an end goal that can be reached. My daughter has her ear/air buds in and is on her phone the whole time to & from practices/games so there is no conversation/bonding going on that I read about.
If I saw maximum/honest effort outside of team practice I wouldn’t be questioning the process.
My DD is a very good player but I see her being even better with more dedication and practice time.
Not going to push her anymore. Encourage yes but going to make her come to me if she wants extra practice. Not asking anymore.
Just thinking if it’s worth it to put all the time & money in and see her go through the motions.
She asked me recently if she was going to tryout for a National 14U team this Summer/Fall. It’s only 10K and they travel all over the country. I believe she could make the team at 2nd or OF. Just question her level of dedication.
I’m thinking HS & private lessons may be the way to go.
