Your first sentence is a suggestion to keep things in perspective. And that perspective is: High school coaches are clueless, athletic directors don't care, public schools are incompetent, high school sports suck, and the only real softball is travel ball. I guess it would be a coach's dream to have a team of players with that perspective.
Can't speak for all high school programs, but where I am in Central Florida that is a pretty accurate assessment. I also don't believe I said high school sports suck. My point was that if you are in a difficult situation "embrace the suck" and make the most of your situation. Wringing you hands and whining won't fix it. Either find value in what you are doing or move on and do something productive.
If the term "embrace the suck" makes no sense, ask a combat veteran for an explanation. They will be happy to oblige.
