Yeah most of the 98's went to school last year. And yes she was well aware of how hard it would be but was so happy to be there that it didn't matter. We were more worried than her. She still loves the game alot and probably loves it even more.
If the push to play at a high level comes from the player then it's hard to kill the love for the game. Good luck to all of the college players and the future college players out there. This whole journey is a marathon not a sprint. Remember to have your player enjoy the ride. Once you get towards the end of it you realize it wasn't about the destination it was about the memories made and character built during the journey.
