While we are at it, perhaps it would be good to stop the personal attacks.

Some pretty confident MD club parents on here. A lot of big talk.

Oh the journey that awaits. Folks think they have it all figured out. You don’t.

Many twists and turns are in store when recruiting season starts:

-The stress of teammates fighting over the same few coveted D1 positions at the same schools.

-The humility of a dream coach contacting your club, not about your DD but about other players on your DD’s team (possibly a DD friend).

-The pressure of performing at the highest level and playing mistake-free when teammates ball hog during those important junior summer tournaments.

-The nerves 16 year-olds feel when dozens of coaches are standing on the sidelines waiting to be impressed, which can intimidate even the best of the best (yes, even those on MD clubs).

-Other teammates catching fire at unexpected moments, drawing interest away from your DD.

-The sinking feeling when your DD’s club coach gives other teammates more time, and more opportunity, to show their stuff in front of top D1s coaches. And all you can do is stand there and watch.

-The tough news from a top academic that low grades is the reason your DD’s dream school is out of reach.

-The high when a first-choice coach expresses early interest in your DD, and the low when they go silent because they see other players perform better than your DD from NY, MA, other MD clubs, your own MD club, and DC.

-The heartbreak of seeing another position player commit to your DD’s top choice.

-The head games D1 coaches play to convey false hope to keep your DD warm, only to drop her when another player they want more than your DD commits to their program.

-And that ticking time bomb we all fear: injuries, which can happen at any moment and put a great player on the sideline at the worst possible time — during the recruiting summer, where she becomes a ghost to D1 coaches. An ill-timed injury will change a cocky lax dad’s expectations of where his daughter’s talents will take her in a New York millisecond.

So many things must go perfectly right for players to get recruited to the top D1 schools they think are theirs for the taking at the start of the process.

Staying humble throughout is the best medicine, but that’s off-brand for the MD club set. Not in the DNA.

And before anyone responds with “sorry your DD wasn’t good enough to get recruited blah blah,” our DD went through the process and committed to a top program shortly after 9/1 that neither she nor her parents ever thought possible. She faced her own challenges, and we managed her expectations because we understood the variables that could derail everything. But she landed at an exceptional program and she / we couldn’t be happier.

But there isn’t enough bourbon in Kentucky to get me to do it over again.

So instead of displaying more stupidity here with the “my kid’s team is better than yours” (seriously - how old are you people), maybe find a way to support each other. Because no matter if you’re on a MD club or a DC one, I guarantee the great players in both regions will be going through major ups and downs.

Good luck. Whether you want to accept it or not, your DD is going to need it.

Cool story bro, but no one really cares. Keep telling yourself how great you and your kid are.

Having gone through the recruiting process the best advice I can provide is help your DD set proper expectations. All this hoopla about who is better than who is wasted time and energy.

The reality is about 200-300 girls are recruited to play for Top 30 D1 teams each year. This equates to less than 10% of recruits.

If the end goal of the crazies on this forum is for their DD to play for one of these D1 schools the odds are already against you. Set proper expectations now. Be honest with yourselves and realistic about which schools are a fit for your DD.

You couldn’t have scripted a better response. Perfect MD club dad representation - thank you for revealing what we have long known. Impressive stuff.

Further validation of MD club dad brain deficiency. Incredible. Bait-trapped … Saw that shrimp and just walked straight in. Who’s next? Amazing.

This may all be accurate, and it certainly sounds well-informed. But it's a little dark for August before 8th Grade. My kid's still having fun playing lacrosse with her friends. I will certainly take the note on humility and try to keep perspective (in a couple of years).
