Let me see if I can dial in this topic... that may be a sensitive issue. However could be an important thing to take a look at.
The topic is in line with other recent posts regarding players having emotional crossover to their sport experience.
Using playing in high school as a gauge for college. (Not talking about the Talent level of the high school team for college.)
Rather in particular using high school & team *dynamic as a gauge.
(Not a travel team wear people quit and leave whenever they want. Much easier than having to transfer to a different school to play.)
Acknowledging,
Needing to be able to function within a school & team Dynamic are equally important because the situation includes a combined commitment to the same place.
Question
From the high school team experience~
if a player cannot handle the different social aspects, that include coaching decisions and teammate interactions, with school schedule,
if a player cannot handle that. (Like they are crying or always want to quit or have anger towards it. Having resentment and experiencing individual frustration.)
Is that a good enough gauge signaling that person is not suited to go forward to play on a college team?
(Bring this question up because noticed there are people with back-to-back frustrating years in high school, where it seems as though it's unreasonable frustration, and yet they think they're going to go off to college and suddenly have a different experience that will be purified. If in 4 years of high school ball cannot work out being either flexible or fitting in or handling the adversity. Seems that is an indicator to take into strong consideration!)
