Reply to "2022 Fall Camp/showcase priority"

My son quit football in seventh grade when he got a stinger in a game, was carried to an ambulance on a stretcher, taken to a hospital 20 miles away, where they cut him out of his uniform on an exam table at a hospital to do an MRI (or something, I was too scared to know).

When it was time to register for the next season he told me--"Mom, I like football and I love baseball. I don't want to get hurt doing something I like and then not be able to do something I love."

He ran cross country and played basketball after that, but everyone knew baseball was his first love. Coaches put up with him because he was athletic and worked hard when he was at practices, but they knew if there was a camp or something, he'd be at baseball.

Just as a note — as he looked at colleges, he did decide he had to have one with a "big football" atmosphere. He loves Saturday game days still.
