Them elite athletes are insane but how do we get like that , it feels unfair sometimes, it feels we’re stuck to be those role players in our entire life , sure working super hard can help a ton but those bounce and genetics play a part too
As it should be…the bad players should have to pay…the good players should play for free…it’s called having value and a good valuable lesson to teach the kids honestly!
AAU is like travel ball for baseball and traveling 7s teams in football.
F'n scams to get stupid parents to pay a ton of money for their unathletic kids to play a sport they could play in a local rec league for far less. If you have the goods, once you hit HS, you'll get offers playing for your school team.
Hell, if you got talent you can be a seasonal athlete who doesn't specialize in anything and still get the scholarship instead of some untalented kid who played AAU and got private coaching
Different world now than when I came up and played D1 back in the early 2000s I just played school ball and an instate Church sponsored league in the summer that was ages 16-99 and more for fun and fellowship, but still kept skills sharp and me with a coach.

how the FUK do these parents afford to pay 8K for kids to play on lower level teams?
I'd much rather travel to Alaska, Wyoming, and Idaho than Las Vegas and Atlanta though…
