nxt lvl posted:I have had "that parent " moments also. Same scenario. My super fast son ran sub 4.5 40 times summer after freshman season at a football event for colleges. Later that month we go to a PG baseball event and get timed by them at 7.2 for the 60. I almost lost it. I kept saying the mantra. "No , dont say a thing. It will all work out in the end." He hit really well and was one of the hit leaders for the three games of the showcase. He hit better than all of the sophs and Jrs there. He got on the "Top Prospect" List and got multiple write ups from PG at that showcase.So it all worked out in the end.
But, man , that 60 time still haunted him all last year. He has run it at variuous other showcase events not PG and gotten some pretty good times. But the time posted on his profile page was killing him. He is a 2018 also.
Other players in our area, that arent as fast as him, have made statements about his time on the PG profile page. He has spent all last year trying to convince me to go to a PG event and have it done over. It has not been in our schedule yet. At this point I am no longer bothered by it. Although it still gets him a little bit. I am so glad I resisted the urge to be ..."That parent".
PG has said if you send them an email they will take down any number from a profile or even erase the whole thing.
I reported awhile ago that two very talented players, on one of the best teams nationally attended showcases winter of 9th grade. One got a 7, the other a 7.5. They went back this year, winter of 10th grade, and both received grades of 9. A year can make a huge difference at showcase numbers.
