I throw a lot of statistics and numbers out there for parents and athletes. My goal in doing this is to help them understand the odds they are up against and just how difficult this process can be for some athletes. If you want to see some interesting numbers, make sure you subscribe to the "PRI Blog Pass" so you can take a look at some of the data I have been collecting on where athletes from Texas are playing volleyball.

I want to start out by talking about the "film is unnecessary" idea. This kind of discussion usually comes in two forms.
