Just a thought,
Last night I attended My Daughters Travel teams Parent Meeting for her new Travel Team, kind of bitter sweet since she's going into her last Year of Travel Ball at the 18u level.
Throughout the years we have been able to be apart of some great teams and great organizations and met great people and have made tons of friends in the Softball world, she's had some great coaches who always pushed her to be her best.
she's gotten stronger as a person and as a Player which will help her out in life . Now Has it always been easy? absolutely not! and I think that's the great part as we look back and all the life lessons she and I have learned along the way . I'm a proud Dad and those who know me, know that life isn't always easy, but God gave me Lemons and I made lemonade and slushies' LOL .I'm especially proud of my kid since she made a Team that most kids were even scared to tryout for cause they didn't believe in themselves that they would make that Team. Now being expose to this group of people can be a very good thing for her, they will give her the platform to Rise Above and beyond and she cant wait for that challenge!
As Fall Ball has already started for some teams here in Chicagoland, enjoy the sport and the kids ,but don't be one of those parents ,the ones that I stay away from ,the ones that cause drama on a team ,COACHES DONT HAVE TIME FOR THAT !!!!!
Some teams are not the right fit for family's, make sure you find this out early, so your not wasting your time and money!
Get a understanding with the coach and see what they expect from your kid and what the expectations are for her.
REMEMBER THE 24 HOUR RULE, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS ,ASK SOMEONE !
Don't coach your kid from the bleachers, the coach ,other parents and College coaches don't want to hear it!!
that's all for now , stay tune ......
also check out all the camps and Tournament's going on ,
Dave Betcher and his team do a great job, and Im Happy I can call him a friend !
Check out the Big Bash Tournaments too, they also do a great Job.
also the new website is www.ilsoftball.net
Be Blessed.
