You know you take the Power Rankings too seriously if…

If you’ve ever made somebody come to your computer to see where your DD’s team is ranked… you might just be taking the Power Rankings too seriously.

If you’ve ever discussed the Power Rankings with somebody that has no idea what you’re talking about… you might just be taking the Power Rankings too seriously.

If your DD knows where her team is ranked… you might just be taking the Power Rankings too seriously.

If you’ve ever made a long-term decision for your DD based solely on the most-recent version of the power rankings… you might just be taking the Power Rankings too seriously.

Genius. I love it.
BTW many of these kids are aware of their team's rank...and that's a problem.

The rumor must be true if there is 21 girls on the team. It's sad to split the team into 2 teams. I always knew this team would blow up before going select. Sad.

Here is a sure fire way to make sure a top 03 team produces a national team player:

M ake sure to steal one of the best teams
I nstigate fights on other teams
S teal all the top players
S it top players on the bench
I nstigate rumors on top teams
M ake sure to stock up on gas cards
O nly truely care about your daughter

Having 21 girls on your roster is assinine. All your doing is stealing the top players
to make your daughter look better and not be challanged.

Now this is genius.

Of coarse you are going to take up for your coach. He got you brainwashed too. Any good coach or athelete knows game experience is better than practice. Hope your dd dont get splinters.

Depends on your competition in games vs practice.
