Between coaching HS ball for several years and some travel, I was front row to many players who were recruited to varying degrees to play in college. From that group, I was able to predict with very high success who would make it through year one in the college baseball program and who wouldn't. It was almost always a direct reflection on which kids had to earn their way and which were particularly hand held through HS by the parents.
Dear hand holder parents - in the moment, it is easy to think you are helping assure they are put in the best position to succeed but, in fact, you are doing the opposite.
