This is good feedback. My son will be trying out for LE in about 10 days, and is currently playing for Tri State both winter box and now summer. His coaches are hard on him because they say they see his potential, and my son is handling that well, and I see his confidence growing and the coaches actually seem to care about him. So there has to be some level of chemistry. I don't know if LE would be the right fit for him but doing the tryout at the urging of someone I trust. If he doesn't make LE, I would be totally fine with it, and so would my son. Tri-State has been a great experience and I have no regrets there and neither does my son which is the most important part.
