For those of you with Freshman, what has been the biggest surprise about the college game they've encountered? Or were they well prepared?

My daughter was surprised at how strong the girls are. She was in the gym a lot but got to college and they asked her if she ever lifted. Lol

She is a pitcher, so there is that. She had plenty of playing time and her response was "no batters off". Even the 9 hole can put it over the fence.

She’s not pitching against travel teams who’s coaches are telling their hitters to hit the ball on the ground.

This was a huge surprise to me. My daughter’s teammates are crazy generous and kind to the freshman. Who could have predicted tha!

It seems strange, but I was always surprised by that as well. Considering they're competing against each other. Heart-warming in this day and age.

My daughter was surprised how much playing time she received this fall.

Academics. They are on you, as a freshman, constantly about academics. Which is a good thing, but they watch everything.
