My older daughter is a freshman at a D3 school. Her fall was very limited in terms of softball action. They played no games, and they only practiced three days a week for five weeks. Each practice consisted of roughly two hours a day. After the five weeks were up, each girl was given a conditioning program they were expected to follow.
My daughter kept up with her hitting lessons, but her work and school schedule were pretty heavy, so her catching lessons took a back seat. She knows she won't be able to work once practices start in February, so she was trying to make as much as possible to pay for her car and lessons when she's not making money.
My younger daughter needed a break from the travel. From late August through last weekend, she slept in her own bed two Saturday nights. She didn't get to go to any get togethers, she didn't see her grandparents, no parties, school football games, or see her sister. Was it physical, for her? Not really. For her, it was a mental break. Hell, I needed a break. Even though my wife and I alternate weekends away, I was burned out. I'm looking forward to seven months in my own bed.
