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. ✌️

@OlinBrowne @frank_nobilo @CSChallengeFW @PGATOUR I don’t disagree and wish money wasn’t the primary factor but it is. The new world of golf we live in. The new TV contract, tournament sponsors ect are all driving factors.

@OlinBrowne @frank_nobilo @CSChallengeFW @PGATOUR And that should be a perfect example to not following them. No one cares outside of 4 events a year

@NoLayingUp Grade this week

"We want to play a similar setup every day."

Well it is almost like the test takers should not also be the test administrators.

Man do I miss Rahm on tour each week.

@shanebacon I’m thinking Rory is very much in this

[Brandel Chamblee @chambleebrandel]

Michael Kim turned in 30 today and Justin Rose just missed a putt for 29 going out… yesterday it looked like a U.S. Open setup… today I think everybody got a juice box before they teed off.

Scottie has to be foaming at the mouth right now looking at some of these scores. #PGAChampionship

Shout out @ngschuNLU backing the course set. I agree with you. I love the course set up this week.

@KylePorterNS Travel baseball dad. Carrying cooler full of tall boys for the outfield spot. Pissed he spent 3,000 for his son to strike out every at bat

@NoLayingUp Sometimes the experience itself—even if it involves waiting or dealing with chaos—is what people are after, rather than just the product - The #Experience

@ATBBTTR Yeah sure… lol

Best part of Red X accounts right now is a few are blaming this guy, but almost everyone else understands this team sucks and that’s just a fact. That’s why they lost and will continue to lose.
