[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In what decade did you compete as a D1 athlete?[/quote]

2000-2004

Maybe your kids just aren’t that good and need all the expensive extra help?[/quote]

Times have changed from more than a decade ago. [/quote]

I’ve been a college coach since then, and no, not really. Like others mentioned, maybe for things like ice skating, but most scholarship sports? You either have it or you don’t, for the most part. Certainly you should have enough natural talent to not require $70K lessons. Travel ball was still a thing in the time I played. I didn’t play on an expensive team. You just have to play for a team that goes to tournaments with scouts, and put together a realistic skills tape that shows what we want to see. I could care less if it was produced by some big name skills tape guy.

Furthermore, the kids who seem to thrive the most are the ones who don’t feel guilted into sticking with a sport because mom and dad blew so much money on it. [/quote]
