Guest b-a-g fan Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 This weekend I had the special opportunity to talk with Lauren Parker and her mother about everything softball. Wow what a special young lady and as nice as they come . Her parents can be very proud ,not only did they raise one of the best athletes any wear around but one of the nicest young lady's ,I have ever met. She was in the heat watching some of the girls she gives lessons to and still took the time to answer all mine and osues and my daughters questions . It put alot into perspective for my daughter what hardwork and the will ,to accomplish your goals can mean . Thanks again to her and her mother and good luck at all you do
the_fanatic Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Aw...thanks BagFan! It was a pleasure meeting you too. We are very proud of Lauren.
JohnnyT60 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Lauren is a great kid, and it has been special to know her. As good of a player as she, she is even a better person. I always wish her the best of luck, except for just a few games a year. I always thought she looked good in purple!! Does she still have her purple uhhh indigo car?
the_fanatic Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks osue. It is fun helping kids follow their dreams. I am glad that Lauren can be here to answer questions about college life and what it takes to become successful. I hope the girls ask lots of questions so they are prepared and ready to face the challenges that college athletes have to face. There are quite a few of us college parents around now that can definitely relate to whatever situations you are faced with, so don't hesitate to write or call. I am sure any of us would be willing to offer some words of advice. This is our last year in college. I sure hope Lamar moves ahead with their softball plans...we are going to need something to fill our time! Coaching will be the key Hey Johnny! Her car is BLUE!! I was reading one of the other posts about stealing signals or something - and you were talking about getting hit by a pitch - I had to chuckle. Seems to me if I remember correctly, your baby hit my baby this year on an inside pitch!! haha!! Which, by the way, how is stealing signals any more a form of cheating than scouting reports?!? Both give the oppossing team an advantage. You got a pretty special kid yourself - one we are all proud of! It is difficult playing against your former teammates. The SEC tournament and the World Series were two of the toughest this year. Both times we knocked out former teammates in do or die situations.
JohnnyT60 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Posted July 15, 2008 Hey Johnny! Her car is BLUE!! That's what y'all keep saying, but it looks Purple to me. Pleassssse it was a changeup, and your little darling has already admitted to sticking her elbow out there. HaHaHa
