Sometimes you have to say "I told you so" to the kids. Mid Major Freshman Daughter had her first 6 AM weights/conditioning this morning. She was slacking off towards the end of the summer and I reminded her once and let her figure it out on her own. Said the Coach demonstrating could do everything effortlessly and her walk-on workout partner kicked her ass. Hard lessons are the best lessons.

Made me smile a little, had the same phone call with mine last year. It's virtually impossible to prepare yourself for the relentless grind of a mid to high level college program. Never seems to end, everyone there is good, and they all want your playing time and scholarship money. There's a lot of talent that never gets over the mental obstacles.

Couldn't agree more. College Softball is a bitch. You have a chance of going through some serious pain and never see the field. Great life lesson, but hard to handle. Be careful what you wish for.
