[QUOTE="Mushballer, post: 255128, member: 1532"] Big V I couldn’t agree more with your assessment. I came from a small town and did not have the opportunities kids do today but somehow still managed to get my college paid for from ball and after college competed on one of the best amateur teams in the state. I struggled with putting my kids on traveling teams due to the burnout factor which is very real. I have watched kids in my sons grade drop like flies and when his senior season came all of the “studs” where no longer playing due to being burned out my son included. To have a chance at the bigger schools you have to get them in traveling ball at an early age or they get so far behind other kids they won’t make it so it’s damned if you do or damned if you don’t. I do not see this changing in the future only getting worse with kids specializing in one sport due to the amount of time needed to succeed. [/QUOTE]
