This letter expresse...Well done Parents and Coach! This letter expresses exactly my thoughts! I have been reading this blog every Thursday and Monday for 5 years now, and referenced the book many times. The things I have learned here helped me understand and prepare for the ups and downs of recruiting. My daughter though sought after from D1 to NAIA has decided to attend a JC. It is the best fit for all of us, the smaller classroom setting, to almost a guaranteed spot on the starting lineup, coaching style and of course the financial end....I mean the cost of her education at a JC will be less than all of the airplane trips back and forth for holidays and breaks! She can then transfer to the school of her choice, whether she plays volleyball or not. The club experience was valued not just for the skills she learned but all the life lessons that she learned. Riding the bench one season, the politics, the personalities, the sacrifice of time, juggling homework, 3 day weekly practices, early rise, long rides to far off destinations, emotional management including boyfriend breakups crying at a tournament, heartbroken but still having to show up, and the drama of high school....the list could go on and on. I am grateful for these experiences and wouldn't have traded any of it, even the bitter disappointments, for anything. All of it has made us stronger and wiser. But is sure helped to know that we weren’t the only ones going through it, and this blog was a guiding light that lessen the bumps along the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
