Got a chance to really talk to my DD during Thanksgiving break and got a better idea of the commitment to play at the college level.
DD plays at a Div III school near Boston with an extremely challenging and competitive business curriculum.
Full practices where held in September -highlighted by a double-header of two fall games. Practice were generally 2 hours long. Following the end of "official" practices- a rigorous work-out schedule started. Weights 3 times per weak, agility 2 times, and batting 2 times. Players are also encouraged to workout on their own(running) Workouts are designed and supervised by a school trainer
Her scholastic load is generally 6+ hours per day of homework, papers etc.... She also needs to attend "meetings" with members of her classes about the projects they are tasked. About 1-2 per day
Of her friends from home- she was the only one with Thanksgiving Homework and appeared to have the toughest workload(except for her friend at Stanford)
She has certainly had to utilize her time management skills!!!!
Would love to hear the commitment stories from people with DDs at all Levels(Div I, II, & III)
