A PARENT’S JOURNEY THROUGH YOUTH SPORTS:

Age 5: “He’s got a cannon.”
Age 6: “He’s the fastest kid out there. Coach said so.”
Age 7: “Rec ball isn’t challenging him anymore.”
Age 8: “We tried out for select. Obviously made it.”
Age 9: “$2,800 for the season. Plus uniforms. Plus tournaments. Plus hotels.”
Age 10: “Cooperstown is basically a family vacation, right?”
Age 11: “He needs a hitting guy. And a pitching guy. And probably a mental performance coach.”
Age 12: “I’m not a crazy sports parent. The OTHER parents are crazy.”
Age 13: “We changed schools. For academics. (And also baseball.)”
Age 14: “Showcases are a requirement at this age.”
Age 15: “Ya his ranking just ticked up. We’re cooking.”
Age 16: “He just needs to get seen by the right school.”
Age 17: “The D1 schools want him to walk on. He’ll earn a spot by sophomore year.”
Age 18: “Okay, D2 is actually really competitive.”
Age 19: “He’s redshirting. Strategic.”
Age 20: “He’s focusing on school now.”
Age 21: “You know what? He’s so much happier.”

Roughly 7% of high schoolers play in college.

About 1.5% of those get drafted.

Less than half of draftees ever play one day in the big leagues.

The odds of our kids going pro are somewhere between “struck by lightning” and “find a $100 in old shorts.”

I love youth sports (all my kids play a bunch of them) just keep a good perspective my friends. ✌️

@Brown_SHS But who won?! 😂

[Tom Dierberger @tomdierberger]

Remember Freddie McGee III (@__FM3__), the guy who stood outside the Lions’ facility asking for a tryout in April?

I caught up with him and two of his former coaches to tell his story and see how things are going:

[Nikki Hotopp @Coach_Hotopp]

You’re looking at the new head coach of the Saline girls varsity basketball team! Hands down the smartest & hardest working coach I’ve ever been around. We are so excited to support our guy 🫶🏼There is nobody more deserving. Can’t wait to see the impact you make! 🐝🏀

[Tran Longmoore @TranLongmoore]

Sam Hotopp is the new coach of Saline girls' basketball.
Good call.
Nobody's ever going to do what Leigh Ann Roehm did. The typical human doesn't have that capacity for detail and hard work.
Hotopp is a good, grounded man who's earned this chance. Already the varsity assistant, Hotopp has a great relationship with the girls.

This baby went from sad/confused to absolute JOY the second those glasses went on.
First time seeing the world clearly. That smile says everything.
♥️ Heart = melted.
Who else is obsessed with these moments?

[Coach West @coachwwest]

The average high school head football coach stipend is around $7,000. Fluctuating heavily

For that, they’re expected to coach year-round, run a program, mentor kids, manage parents, recruit their own halls, fundraise, break down film, coordinate staffs, and be available almost 24/7.

Football coaches are grossly underpaid for what we ask of them.

[Chelsea Athletics @ChelseaBulldogs]

A huge shout out to Coach Joe Welton and the Chelsea and Saline softball teams for organizing our adaptive softball game today in between games!

First camp is right around the corner don’t miss out on experiencing what it’s like to be with the Bulldogs

[Bryan @RealBGauvin23]

Adrian College Safety Ethan Burrows (@EthanBurrows35) was a straight-up ball hawk in the Bulldogs secondary, earning 1st Team AFCA All-American honors.

The Essexville, Michigan native totaled 46 tackles (6.5 TFLs) with 8 INTs and 5 PBUs.

One of the best in all of D3 Football.

Coming to a school near you! Our staff is back on the road looking for the next class of DAWGS #GDTBAB

[The Winged Helmet @TWH_Chris]

“I’m in the facility at 10 at night, and I walk by the quarterback room, and there’s Tommy Carr watching film all by himself,” Whittingham said. “He’s completely immersed in his development as far as trying to get better.”
