[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Travel mindset. lol 99.9 percent of these kids won’t play d1 level college [/quote]

How many parents of kids on a C level travel team (or whatever the equivalent of "travel teams that could really be rec still" in your sport is) really think their kid is playing D1? I'd wager close to zero.

I know parents who stick their nose in the air and act all superior that their kid is in travel and really don't understand how intense the college recruiting game is. They're annoying and yeah deserve some of that scorn you are dishing out.

I also know parents in travel because their kid love love loves the sport. I know parents in travel because they are sick of dealing with kids who don't know the sport or who won't show up. I know parents on those C level teams because their kid is a legitimate danger on the rec field due to skill but the better team their kid was on folded and this was what they could find last minute. Those parents are just trying the best they can for their families and trying to help their kids have fun. Why lol at them?
