re: I don’t get dripping $1000’s on kid’s travel ball in hopes of a scholarship

Why dont you ask guys like Bregman and Nola if they regret doing travel ball?

Your right, it's not for everyone and some kids just don't have the God-given talents. There's no shame in that, but there are lessons we can teach kids that some SJW teacher will never be able to offer in the classroom - comroddery, discipline, etc.

Now as it relates to cost, yes it costs money but I always tell parents it's not about whether or not you can afford it... everyone can afford it. It's about whether or not you want to make the sacrifice for your kids to be set up to be successful.
