Son is on a team where the stated objective is to get kids to college. He's a 2027. I heard the other day from a reliable source who cares about my son that he got some feedback about my kid from his travel ball coaches about where he is strong and where he is weak. Nothing he said really surprised my son or myself and son has been actively working on trying to improve those things. This person is really hooked into the college landscape in our area and has influence.
Why we are hearing this second hand ?
Shouldn't a coach talk to his player about these things to help him actively get better?
I'd like to talk to the coach and find out his opinion about our son's chances of making it to the next level and if so what he needs to work on to get there. Is this an appropriate conversation that a parent can have with the travel ball coach?
I've heard over and over again that it's the travel ball coaches connections that help kids get seen especially if your kid is not a D1 level player.
I just want him to have support to become the very best player he can be in his last two years of travel ball.
FYI my son went thru a very competitive tryout to make this team and had a good fall season at the plate. It is also a sponsored team.
