Great Post.

What I love about high school baseball (just ended for us) is the sense of team in the truest sense. There is absolutely nothing that can replace the pride of playing and representing your school. The rivalries and history are things that can't be replaced by travel baseball. To me and in my experience: Travel is about the player... high school is about the team.

To be sure not every high school team/coach/players are the same -- but I know my son learned more about being a teammate during 4 years of high school baseball than anywhere else and that is invaluable -- because for the most part, learning to win as a team is how you win in business and life.
