Define ignorant....
Ignorant \Ig"no*rant\, a. [F., fr. L. ignorans, -antis, p. pr. of ignorare to be ignorant. See Ignore.]
1. Destitute of knowledge; uninstructed or uninformed; untaught; unenlightened. [1913 Webster]
He that doth not know those things which are of use for him to know, is but an ignorant man, whatever he may know besides. --Tillotson. [1913 Webster]
Seriously, she knows head trauma cases and sees it every day so she is aware of the consequences of head trauma and neurology related circumstances and is a registered zealot when it comes to being an advocate for the kids safety and trying to educate the parents!
If your daughter plays in the infield in my opinion she would be more prone to be injured than an outfielder in my opinion.
From the net.... [FONT="]I copied this for your enjoyment...[/FONT][FONT="]
Batters and pitchers had the highest absolute number of injuries due to impact with a batted ball in games.
A total of 22% of the total game injuries to pitchers occurred from batted balls, and about one third of game injuries to third basemen involved batted balls. (You could roll the dice that unless she is a pitcher or third baseman she may not get hurt)
Only 2.6% (7/241) of injuries to pitchers involved a batted ball to the head, compared with 8% for batters (24/303) and 9% for third basemen (10/96).
The authors concluded that neuromuscular training may reduce ACL injuries in females if the training includes plyometrics, balance, and strengthening exercises performed once per week for at least 6 weeks.[/FONT]
[FONT="]They probably actually have a better chance of an ACL issue or shoulder problem and there is a program in place called the PEP program that has proven to reduce sokker and basketball ACL issues by 41%.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Using this form could help all of us protect and educate our kids if......and you fill in the blank or blanks![/FONT]
From the book titled, The 5th Discipline
?When teams are truly learning, not only are they producing extraordinary results but the individual members are growing more rapidly than could have occurred otherwise.
The discipline of team learning starts with "dialogue," the capacity of members of a team to suspend assumptions and enter into a genuine "thinking together." To the Greeks dia-logos meant a free-flowing of meaning through a group, allowing the group to discover insights not attainable individually. Interestingly, the practice of dialoguehas been preserved in many "primitive" cultures, such as that of the American Indian,but it has been almost completely lost to modern society.
Just my opinion....we could all learn more without having another one of us get hurt and then say I did not think it would happen to me.

I guess there's one pitcher in the NCAA that wears a face mask.
The pitcher for the University of Louisiana RaginCajuns wears one.
They play UCLA in the Super Regionals.

i am a mom of daughter who took a line drive in practice to the forehead. she has never worn a mask and does not plan to. she suffered a severe concussion. college coaches and trainer did nothing for her. she was out cold without knowing what hit her. she told them she was fine. they believed her because she would have been a loss to the team. i drove to the school the next morning after she texted a photo and took her to er.
they diagnosed her with a concussion. several months later, after severe headaches, she went for a cat scan and it was determined she had a stroke at some point in time. her grades were affected, her concentration was
affected, she no longer was able to pitch like she pitched before. i don't anticipate colleges allowing them as they could affect their ability to see the ball.
i think they should do something about the bats.

It's still called "softball". I wonder what ever happened to the "soft ball"? The game was originally played indoors as a modified baseball game. The equipment was modified for obvious safety purposes. Somewhere along the way, the ball became hard and lively, and the bats got hot... VERY hot.

I saw the pitcher from LA LAF wearing a mask. I think as more and more do it it will become common and accepted as well

Just saw a college softball game on ESPN and the pitcher (LA LAF) was wearing a face mask. Never seen that model before, we like the Rip-It mask.
