Go Jacks son has had a very positive experience so far but he has commented on more than one occasion that the baseball work load is much heavier than he expected. His coach and parents told him about this while he was being recruited but of course they never believe you. Son is a catcher so he has a full bullpen schedule to go along with the lifting/running, hitting and position practices. Most of the times when we talk to him he is either on his way to or just coming from a workout.
He did pretty well academically the first semester but he will have to bear down even more this semester since they will be on the road so much. He goes to a northern school and the first half of the season is nearly all away games.
We have noticed however, that according to his facebook page, he has still found time to get in some social activities. I guess he is learning some valuable time management skills.
