Secondary sport for a pitcher

[uncdrew]

I am of the opinion that a decision does not have to be made until she wants to make decision ... If she thinks FH is too much, she'll give it up ... If she thinks pitching practice is too much, she'll take a break and potentially come back to it refreshed ... Given the opportunity, kids will lead you to where you need to guide them ... If we listen. Step in if her academics take a hit and make a suggestion ... She's only 2 short years before college and your opportunity to give her an opportunity to start calling some of her own shots.

Yup. I'd leave this one up to her, but with weekly informal check-ins with you/her parents on what's she's thinking and feeling.

We have a pecking order in our family:

1. Academics
2. Softball
3. Friends/family/silly stuff
4. Volleyball/Basketball

If you aren't doing 1 well, you don't get to do 2, 3 and 4 much. If you are doing 1 and 2 well, you can do more of 3 and 4. That kind of thing. I too think kids know when too much is too much.
