Lets see --- that's a whopping 10 1/2 hours a day!!!
Not much pity from me. Take the usual workplace job of eight hours --- let's say 8 to 5 with an hour off for lunch. Tack on 1 hour of commute in the AM and one hour in the PM and you're talking about dedicating 11 hours of your life each day to a job. Now if you're a parent of a baseball player then you have to allot some time for baseball too. --- That's just the average day of the parent with one child ---

Very good post. The only difference in my son's experience is perhaps his teams 5:30 AM conditioning, but the rest sounds familiar. That's the program and perhaps another reason some schools sign 15 or 20 every fall.
