Leaving for better?

Posted by Shegone on February 19, 2025, 8:01 am

Does one stop to think. Leaving your team ( a good organization), to a franchise brand team. Cause they sell your better opportunities. Ever wonder why this great team has already cycled through 16 players, and they are still looking. Why have so many left this great team. Nobody stops and thinks nowadays. Best of luck to your search

Everybody makes choices. Then everyone deals with the consequences(good or bad). That's life. If you think your kid will get a better opportunity elsewhere, then go. If not, then stay. Either way, you make the experience. How you handle it, how you treat others is the lesson your kid learns. Softball will be over soon, lessons last a lifetime.

So then Stop and think. I’m sure you are smart enough to come up with a few reasons on your own. Maybe you have always been in great situations your whole life and never wanted a change. I’m sure you married your first love, liked all your teachers, and never had a problem with a class mate.
Can you appreciate what it’s like to spend 8 hours with a bunch of prudes who don't want their iced tea spiked? Or a bunch of lushes who are blitzed by the second inning? Ever spent time with that mom who is itemizing her daughters importance to the team again? Or the dad that needs the dropped third strike rule explained again?
Ever had to watch your daughter in the outfield while coach’s daughter plays short? Shell never get a scholarship to Oklahoma playing right field, you know.
Maybe your team isn’t playing the right level of competition. May they play too much, or not enough. Maybe they think that a better uniform will make the more recruitable. There is some truth to that. I read somewhere that the bandits do a rather decent job dealing with the recruiting process.

Do parents have any responsibility, or is this just about the evil, money-grabbing coaches?

As long as their moving to better situations for their daughter, that's what matters. There's a limited number of years here. Wasting a year is a bid deal.

I'm confused, is this a mistake you made? .. or are you just randomly stating that this will always be a mistake for everyone.

The second sentence is a question. It should have a question mark not an exclamation point. But it is definitely moving in the right direction.

I guess it’s asking a lot of you, to speak correctly.

Now, go back to your cave.

At least I bring some sort of value. Your posts have zero added value.
