First let me say I am on not on here only for myself...but as ?a parent and coach who loves the game and tries to use this site to get info to help my DD and the players I coach....
Second, My DD has been second guessing her softball career because of some decisions ?that happend the last couple weeks....She asked me two nights ago if I would be upset if she did not play ball in college.. Yes I was shocked .I told her "I could care less if you play softball in college' She looked at me funny. Then I said" I want you to be happy doing what you want, You playing ball in college NEVER crossed my mind, not because of talent but because you are a very smart and intelligant woman who will succeed in far more than softball" She gave me a hug and went to her room....I am not sure if these means anything to anyone else but what I got from it is, I put pressure on my DD everyday about EVERTHING, for HER to be sucsessfull in the real world. She assumed I was pressuring her to be the BEST at everything when she really needs to be the best at being herself......
