What would you do if no one supported you and your dream? Jeff Sampson dreams of becoming a Major League Baseball player. To reach his goal, he must defy his father and risk the loss of the love of his life. He soon learns that coaches, instructors, and managers want to mold and shape him into their idea of a Major Leaguer. And he soon learns that they want the kind of player he could never be. This story is all about the expectations heaped on young people by those in authority. Told through the eyes of Jeff, and several other ballplayers, Managing Expectations shows how young people handle those expectations, and some of the unintended consequences that result from their actions. Along the way, Jeff, and the other players, must manage his career, himself, and those expectations while he does his best to climb the ladder to the Majors.
