Giff … todays post is a fantastic, honest reflection and assessment of the journey. As I’ve always told posters, if you’re kid wants it badly enough he’ll get it.

A story on not getting your HA first choice …

My son’s objective was a couple of Ivies. He got injured. He needed baseball for acceptance to any Ivy. He ended up at a Big 10. His injury gave him five years to play four. He left with a great baseball experience, a BA and an MBA.

A couple of years ago I asked my son if he had any regrets on how things worked out. He didn’t. He got to attend a top twenty MBA program just by already being there for baseball. He figures he would be in the same or similar place career wise regardless.

Best of luck to your son’s baseball and academic career.
