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

I've done it for 3 years now and do enjoy it. It's quality time with my daughter that we would never get if we didnt have sports in common. It's allowed us to travel to places we'd never go if our own choice. We do typically add some days on each end to make a vacation out of it.

It's taught her a sense of hard work, dedication and selflessness she wouldn't get if she was just being a kid. I completely recognize that the money spent could provide for 2 educations.

There's also a sense of pride watching your child excel at something due to a little bit of God given talent and alot of hard work.
