I know what you are talking about. There are a lot of parents who think their kid is better than they actually are. I think I’ve been one of them! My kid was actually selected for many of the big accolades, unfortunately all during covid but anyone else getting that same accolade was also affected by covid. The accolades haven’t played out in recruiting at all. Seeing tons of commits, even some really nice commits from our team where she is very much a star player, but she just hasn’t gotten those kind of calls at all. Second guessing myself— I might have done something differently as a parent guiding the process.
Pretty sure they are talking about parents who cry politics , friends & family network, club affiliation, connections etc… trying to diminish whatever the accolade is because their daughter was not recognized.
It doesn’t sound like you or the other guy who’s daughter committed to a Top Academic/Top Lacrosse school.
