ED2: D3 recruiting

You are welcome. The stress of possible cuts was so hard on my daughter and us the first few months of her freshman year - I get a pit in my stomach just thinking about it.

She is at an Ivy and none of us ever thought recruits would get cut, so when the coach announced week 1 no one was safe - it was horrible. She kept doing what she does best with her sport, jumping in and making friends on the teams and showing up everyday working hard. All we could say was if you get cut - we would support her to transfer after she stayed at the school for a full year.

Long story short - she was not cut, coach told her as a freshman she
is the future of the team and embodies what he is looking for in all his athletes - I still want to kick him in the shins :slight_smile: and i think he remains clueless about how that impacted the first few months of practices.

Like your child - sport is a big part of their identity and their friends group and we were just there to encourage, listen and let her know she is an amazing person :slight_smile:
