It is known as a great school, but very small, and also one of the most expensive in the country. While her academics are good, they aren’t great, and her social life was mostly spent with the softball team on and off the field. Several of her former teammates have even volunteered to catch for her whenever they were free so she can continue to get reps. When she chose the school, she thought it would be a place she’d still like even if she sustained a career-ending injury, but by January, she realized she was wrong. If not for softball, she probably would have left after last fall.
She’ll be transferring in January, so she’ll still be a sophomore. Looking at the roster of her new team, 2 other girls transferred in this year as juniors, so I really don’t think that will be too much of an adjustment for her. She always does work out and is in fantastic shape. She’s the kid that woke up at 4:30 am M-F in high school to make sure she always got her workout in. Thank you for all the input. I think this will have a happy ending, and looking forward to her playing for a stable softball program without the chaos that has surrounded her current school’s since last fall.
