quote:How many different sports do the 16 year old players from Honduras, the Dominican or Venezuela play? The further along you go you realize where the bulk of your player’s competition ultimately comes from.
Many of these kids will also be the best s****r players you have seen in your life. These kids play the game of baseball and do not have personal trainers clocking bullpens in the middle of winter after 10 months of throwing and being off for 1 month. Sometimes to succeed we have to know when to pull back. I am as cpetitive as anyone, but I also know baseball is a passion of lne and it is something to be loved and enjoyed. It is not only used as a training tool for college. If you train to be the best you can be, good. If you spend all year training for the sole purpose of a college scholarship, you may lose out on a lot. What happens when the scholarship doesn't come? Will you feel you waisted a lot of time for that sole purpose? Just some things to think about.
