[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, humble brag PP, but 5’7” is tall.  If you’re that height it doesn’t take much.  When you’re 5’2” you need to be short and nimble and doing somersaults on the floor and super jump setting to get an offer.  [/quote]

Fair enough. And also, I did re-read my original post and it does sound like humble bragging. I apologize. I really just wanted to emphasize the level at which for some of us it's seemed like bizarre chance, for better and for worse. Not that our girls and all other girls didn't work hard - they worked their butts off. But we also know amazing players that struck out, and players we were surprised got offers over others who were in the same tryout. [/quote]

I didn’t think you were humble bragging. We just have different perspectives.  My daughter is 5’3.  She does a lot of private training and went to as many clinics as she could possibly fit in.  She’s a great player but looks sooooo short when she’s at tryouts.  She is!  She can’t help that.  You don’t realize how tall 5’7 sounds to us.  My daughter has to be amazing AND have some sort of relationship with a coach to maybe get an offer or maybe be considered as an alternative.  By luck this year, she got an offer for a lower level team than she was aiming for and she is really happy.   Tryouts and the time leading up to them are hard and stressful for many.  [/quote]
