quote:Parents and sometimes coaches are just the worst. I played a TON of ball growing up. But thanks to my dad not being a moron I never had any problems. Didn't matter who I played for, he'd tell every coach how use me. I know that sounds crazy but I promise it wasn't. I wasn't allowed to pitch but every so often and had a strict pitch count and even sat out games to get rest. And he'd drive me to those games to watch and support my friends.
Glads its not just me that thinks these parents as a whole group are over board.
Hell, my senior year I think I only threw 48 innings. My dad is old school as hell but he had a prophetic eye for what was happening in baseball while I was growing up and refused to have coaches use me like it was game 7 of the World Series every week from 13-17. Seeing how my dad acted and how some of my friend's dads acted really opened my eyes to how lucky I was.
You don't need to kill yourself for a college scholarship or potentially a draft selection. I've just finished the whole process so if any parents here ever have any questions I could give some advice.

let me just make this clear (about Louisiana, at least, but i think most states are similar)
it's much easier and MUCH cheaper and resource-limited to ensure your kid can get TOPS and a free ride
also, TOPS gives you more than an LSU baseballl schollie (which is only partial)
