As a parent I just watched my kid sit on the bench for 3 straight games today.
What an awesome opportunity to evaluate for me as a parent & my child as a player.
It’s my job as a parent to teach my child how to deal with that & to help my child learn how to get off the bench.

- So you signed your NLI… Well done. Now, get ready to compete w/ 22 year old grown men next fall. Time to get prepared. Time to get strong in weight room. You only get one chance to make a first impression. It’s hard to get on a college team, but it’s harder to stay there.
- Parents: College baseball recruiting happens at different times for different level players. Don’t compare your son’s path to others.
