My DD has taken an extremely wild jump in development in the last 10 months. My daughter has played ball since Tball but she has never had an interest besides wanting to do flips in the outfield and build dirt castles. 3 years ago a group of girls my daughters age who made. all stars in rec ball decided to build a travel team. Well fall of 2022 my daughter comes to me and says she wants to join that team and play for them the next spring and summer. I had to break it down that she couldn’t bc was not good enough and has not put in the work to be able to play for a team like that. This team is now a 10U Team, my daughter has only played rec ball. When she was picked for rec ball in march of 2023 she come to me and told me she wants to start training and working. Long story short she goes from not good at all rec ball girl who is 8 to a a Low C class 8U Team. she is 7-8 best on team by the end of the fall season she is one of top girls. The team takes off for the winter except my daughter she never took a break so now she has to step up to 10U bc she turned 9 in november. This team she wants to play on is a good 10U team but they are full. So i didn’t think she would get to play bc we only had one local 10 U team. So i decided to reach out on FB to a group there to see if someone needed another girl who knows how to work. She has 10 teams reach out bc of two videos i posted of her. She has a few tryouts and she decided to choose one of the top 2013 10U teams in the state. It truly blew my mind how she went into this tryout with the confidence that she would make this team bc of the work she has put in. She gets three offers from three different teams and chooses the strongest team bc she wants to train with the best competition she can. It’s just wild what hard work and determination can do in such young girls. 8U Rec ball kid who was terrible to 1 fall season as 8U C class travel to Top tier 2nd year team in the state in 10U all in the matter of 10 months. I am the proudest father bc she finally understands how important work ethic and determination is in success. She was never forced to practice. She may be a little obsessive.
