And as always in these inane discussions, all these girls are created the same. Trust me on this, there are situations where the kids drag their parents in to athletics. I remember a 9 year old little girl watching the US Olympic team playing and saying , "I can do this." , then meeting Lisa Fernandez and before it was over the two of them, talking about which way they like to have their hair when they are on the field, one a triple olympic medal winner and the other, the kid who would be the smallest kid on every team she played on until college. I remember hearing her want me to start a team because the team she is playing on only played two weekends a month, she was 11 then, and she wanted to play more. I remember reading the , stuff, on eteamz and later on here, telling me that I should fell guilty about how much she played until I remembered the conversation we had when I asked her if she thought we were playing too much. "So we go to some different town every weekend, stay in a hotel, hang out with the best friends in the world, and then I get to play softball all weekend - and what is I am supposed to get tired of ?, honestly Dad, you must talk to some really stupid people. " And what she likes about college ball is - guess - they get to play so many games, that mean something, in such a short period of time.
Out of the mouths of babes.
