I used to think my daughter was an incredible pitcher, until we started the travel ball circuit. She was way better than rec ball, but travel ball is totally different. She rarely pitches now. She still practices at home, was a varsity pitcher as a freshman, but got a big dose of reality when she started playing travel ball. I still think she is really good, but not an incredible pitcher.
She now plays the outfield and enjoys not having all that pressure.
That said, I still talk her up, but she is the one who impresses the coaches, not me. So I tell them what she can do and let her show it. I agree if you exaggerate your daughters abilities, it is going to show rather quickly.
