focus in the "offseason." My daughters loved each sport they played but felt pressure to do the AAU season for basketball in the spring which made it tougher for them in their high school sports of track and softball respectively. And in the summer they were pressured to go to basketball camps and volleyball camps or play for softball teams. It only slightly improved them as high school players but at least it gave them something to do during the day. To their credit they each worked jobs at night in the summer. It cost the family money and it was bs seeing so many parents push their kid like they were the next All American. The money spent on travel I guess was worth it because if was fun for us to watch them play. When I look at it objectively though, who would want to watch those games at that level. Pretty boring if you want to speak objectively.
