Any one of us that have had kids in sports have seen parent goggles, in youth sports. It's our JOB to support our kids, and I whole heartedly support that. In time, you hope they realize their kid isn't a 1st round draft pick, because they are MUCH more important than that.

That stuff is pretty easy to see- in others-  if your kid is pretty freaking good at something.  For those kids?  Those goggles have never been checked. In fact, they've been reinforced by recruiters blowing smoke up their arse to get them to commit.

I don't blame her for her frustration. She's never experienced it. This is like middle school on a national level.  Her kid earned a p5 scholly, one of the best in the nation, so right the **** on!

I don't think parents should post about their kids. EVER.   I hope she learns from it, and her son has a great career.  While parents may have instilled values, and work ethic?  Your kid earned this on his own.  ALL ON HIS OWN with a pretty good support system. It was HIM.   Not you.  HiM.  Its his battle to fight.  Its his battle to win.
