Reply to "Tough Decision"

To the point that people are paying attention when you don’t think they are:


Early in jr. season, son was very interested in a specific NE D3. Seemed a good fit across the board. He made contact w coach, sent in what little video he had and a transcript.  Coach writes back expressing mild but personal interest, says keep in touch. We live a bit west of there so coach couldn’t come and see him play. I had zero hope of the coach actually  following  up with my son.

Son then  has a couple of good games offensively and defensively, and steals a couple bases. Probably the best two-game sequence in his HS career.

Right after that, coach calls and said he “saw” the games and he’s definitely interested in him. We’re scratching our heads about him seeing son play. No way that happened.

Then we learn the coach’s DAD was on vacation in our neck of the woods, had attended the games, and reported back to the coach.

The baseball world is an intimate place and sometimes it’s even smaller than you will ever know.
