[quote=Anonymous]People get so carried away. I'm the OP. You know like I mentioned my DH did play D1 baseball. My kid is also 95 percentile too, he will be over 6'3 or whatever you're hoping your kid will be. He actually was recruited for another D1 sport too, so I would say all around athletic father. I wouldn't just assume the same for my kid. My DH also worked very hard to get a full scholarship and then very hard on the team. It's a full time job in college, practicing 25 hours a week+. My kid will also have to work hard even to make the HS teams because they are competitive. And he's a solidly athletic kid but so are a lot of kids. I think it's ridiculous if you actually believe your 10 year old is just going to be set. It comes down factors like genetics and size but at the end of the day, you won't get far with just that and you can have all those things and still not play later in college, let alone pro. Have a little humility. You may think they are the best. A lot of people on the same team think their kid is the best. I'm realistic. Maybe one day my kid is the best. I am around a lot of athletic kids as my kids play like 10 sports and I do not see any elite, superstars who are 10 year olds that are anything but a smidge better than the next best on the team. None. I find it hard to believe what you're saying. [/quote]
