My highschool softball dreams were crushed last year. ?I did not enjoy it, it was basicly nothing but constant heck for me. ?It ruined not only my softball spirits, but also my softball skill. ?So here are my reasons why not to play highschool softball. ?Please, feel free to comment or critize on this post and list your own reasons why or why not to play. ?Remember, these are my personal opinions, nothing personal to any highschool player and/or coach out there!
1) I'd rather take private leasons all highschool season (I know you can do both!). ?I'd want to be at the top of my game rather than deprecisating myself for a whole season.
2) Scouts look at you more during travel, so why not be the best during travel (again-relating to the private lessons).
3) ?Your hs couch doesn't know crap about softball~ ?(I'm not bash ing ALL ?hs coaches!!! ?My coach JUST decided to start coaching fp softball last season! ?I know some hs coaches are outstanding such as my own travel ball coach. ?Those hs play ers are very lucky!)
4) ?When you try to explain something to your hs coach, he laughs in your face and critizes you and then goes and makes jokes about it to the other girls and coaches.
5) ?Your coach tells you everything you're doing is wrong, you're wrong, and he's right (of course he's right! ?He's been coaching for oh so long). ?It's worked for you for 10 odd years, you've been 1st string catcher for 3 years, and 2 time MVP. ?But... he's right.
6) ?Your hs coach tells you what you think and feel (emotionally and physically) is incorrect and stupid.
7) ?The hs coach, because he's been coaching fp and hs ball for SO long, knows EVERYTHING!!! ?He doesn't care about quest, statisics, and/or facts. ?His way is right because he said so.
8.) Your hs coach points you out from the whole team to say something about your "incorrect, stupid" ways of playing. ?It's fine to do that, don't get me wrong. ?But when he starts mocking you and laughing because you're getting mad/very embarrassed, that's just crossing the line!
9) ?Travel ball is better, more fun, and a heck of a lot more competitive (on most levels!) so why not put all focus on that?
*And last but not least and certainly no less important*
10) ?You go into your highschool season knowing you're a good player and better than what the coach makes you out to be, but you leave your hs season convinced you're a horrible player and don't deserve to be on a any team- hs OR travel.
This post is not intended to bash or offend any player and/or any coach of the hs and/or travel league. ?These reasons are MY personal reasons reflected towards ONE particular person and no one else. ?
