I don't know who posted this on NJ.com, but agree with everything he says:
I was at a league meeting recently for my dd and the topic came up of a local older player I know (who I guess no one realized I knew) who in the past few months made a verbal commitment. Instead of being happy for her all the talk was of how they didn't think she didn't deserve it, player wasn't that good, or the school probably isn't that competitive or their kid is just as good as her. It could all be true but it frankly made me sick. If anyone knows this player she was always working hard at her game. She was always the first at practice, last to leave. She missed parties and other social events for softball. She loves the game. She is a great student, a team player and a nice young lady who has sacrificed a lot to get all she has earned. I ended up leaving that meeting in an argument with these jealous haters. You all know who you are.
I know your kids and you the parents. You are all jealous. All you do is make excuses. Its likely your kids wont ever play in college because they don't know what it takes to do it. Softball scholarships are rare. Your kids are lazy. Excuses like it's too cold to practice, I don't need lessons, practice is too early, I don't want to do it that way, no one ever taught me that... they can't even pack or carry their own dang bag. They are 18u and they wait for daddy to pack and carry their own bag. You know exactly who you are. There is someone working harder than your kid right now who will take her spot.
You are adults. It's disgusting to talk that way about a kid who works hard and achieves a goal they have been working hard for. Stop being jealous and feeling sorry for yourself and your kid. They are not entitled to everything you think they are. You will see that reality soon if its not already settling in. Please tell her to stop her Alabama dreams. She is a Junior. She doesn't pack her own bag. She is lazy and has an attitude. Reality check. Alabama is not going to discover someone 6th team or whatever all league that complains when you tell her to practice.
Yes. I know my kids aren't D1 material but thats not why they play. They play because they love it and I'm not chasing a scholarship dream for them like you idiots with your lazy kids.
ok. i've said my peace. flame on hater!!! and go pack you kids bag for school ball. she might forget something.
