Locked GameChanger

Posted by What Are You Hiding? on June 25, 2025, 10:19 pm

Why do teams at 14U and above lock their videos and stats? What’s the reasoning? Do the coaches that do this really think that gives them some sort of an advantage? It always blows my mind when I see them locked.

Look at the box scores for each game, open your Excel and do a spreadsheet on the whole team's stats linke any other psycho parent does!

. . . And then get in the garage and quadruple your reps like you SHOULD be doing anyways if you feel like you are not where you'd like to be in the lineup

. . . Also, SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I wouldn't fault any coach who blackballs a family or player for being a selfish team-killer.

Softball IS an individual sport masquerading as a Team Sport, but you still cannot break Omerta and bellyache about it - PLAY GOLF!

How is it that this post turned so nasty?

Folks, let’s chill out. Turning this into a “why are you so disgruntled about your DD - you must be an idiot” is too tired, way too simplistic - and generally just mean.

My take… GC lockdowns are dumb, even in HS. By college, there is plenty of scouting - all information is available. So let the HS and club stats be open, and win on talent and strategy!

Just for clarification, your DD is on the team and You cannot see the teams stats? Not even your own DD’s? That doesn’t pass the smell test.

If you are paying for or are a coach/manager I thought GC granted you access to the stats of your team but you had to pay to access all opponents stats. I only say that from my experience years ago when I volunteered to beta test GC during their integration of video steaming games.

Apologies if my information is incorrect but I also believe you can email GC and they will assist with you accessing the videos and stats.

Locked GC stats are commonplace. You have an ax to grind. It is almost July. Set your compass for next season for goodness sakes. No one really cares. People might tell you they care, that's because people are kind and do not want to hear you yammer on about it for another 6 hours at the field. People also don't want to debate you, they are thinking about their kid. See how that works? And no one is going to lead the protest for your muffin. Go to a new team.

I’ve done plenty of research on this subject. Locking team family members out of the rest of the team’s is not commonplace. Thanks for your concern.

I’ve had several college coaches tell
Me they don’t look at stats off Game Changer due to parents or players keeping track. Videos are often poor as well.

High school, I actually understand locking/restricting. Good teams definitely scout and having easy access to video, spray charts, etc. is really helpful when scouting.

It's daddy ball. They don't want you to ask questions about why your daughter who is batting 200 points above 90% of the team, and yet all the coaches' kids are batting above her on a regular basis.

When you're looking for a new team, locking stats is not just a RED FLAG, it's a HARD NO.

Why are you concerned about others, keep track of your own

When your daughter is putting in the work, pushing her weaknesses, and doing what she needs to do. Then she is repeatedly batting near the bottom of the order.

Also, other parents constantly coming up to us asking what the coach’s issue is with our daughter. Then you go look for the stats to see if there’s a reason and the stats are locked. All because he can’t justify where all the coaches daughters are batting and playing.

Daddy ball coaches, do better!

Being the parent of a pitcher, stats are a good evaluation part of her evaluation. Both standard and advanced stats of pitching. However many things can be covered up. How many times can a base hit to second base really be a base hit. Oh wait, that's probably the coaches kids playing second base. Don't want to score that an error. Or better yet, compare the other teams stat lines for the same game played. Every ball in play is a base hit. Gotta keep those good batting average stats to brag about

Been on many teams at different levels with my daughters, I have always been able to see my kids stats but not the stats of the whole team. I don't think it ever had anything to do with how much you pay for GC.

We’ve never been on a team whose HC locks down the stats. Seems like the coach has something to hide.

Find another team. If it's that bad, why is your kid still there?
