How often does that fairytale come true? ....
Meanwhile, DON"T FORGET to fully enjoy your son's dream days and HS experience.
I think the is huge, college baseball is a job, period, end of conversation. Coaches will be different then what you think, you will be treated poorly at times and you have no rights. To be honest as a business owner I can tell you with virtual certainty if our company treated my employees the way players get treated most would quit, I would get sued and I would have to settle out of court because there is no way to defend the actions...at the most basic level it is supply and demand, there are many more players then the demand for them and you will treated as such. To expect anything else you are in for a rude awakening.
That being said, the rewards can be great, friendship, experiences brothers for life. Often times players become closer because the coach is such an ass they need each other to succeed.
there is no fairytale IMO.
Edit - I have no frame of reference for IVY observation.
