Our childhood in a single picture..

[Wholesome Side of 𝕏 @itsme_urstruly]

I know every generation has their class struggles, but let me tell you about the summer of 1990 when Supersoakers hit the market and only a few kids could afford them and the rest of us were hunted for sport.

[Jacob Turner @TheJacobTurner]

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. ✌️

In 1986, STR Software was founded. In '88, we released our first document delivery tool for ERP systems.

The technology's changed. The problem...get the right document to the right place...hasn't.

40 years later...what we're doing. Stay tuned, May 27.

I don't usually tell people this, but because we put out so few CS shows we have a lot of people out there who would like a new CS show,but never find out we've released one.
If you know one of those people, I'd love it if you'd let them know.

We don't usually post the "mushy" stuff, but this hits different. 🏆

Dimitri at @sleemanbeer called our support the "Golden Standard." Huge thanks to our team, especially support engineer James Nix, for making it happen.

[STR Software @STR_Software]

An average EBS environment manages printers across Oracle, CUPS, maybe Windows, and more. At least three or four separate systems. No single view. No health monitoring. No audit trail. That's the baseline most IT teams are working from today.

After 18 years, Steve Enderle retired at the end of April! 🍻

It took us a few weeks for the reality to sink in, but we're officially celebrating a legend. Cheers to an incredible career!
