Baseball life mimics real life. You may lose a job (get cut), you may move to a new town and need to make new friends (move to a new team), you’re 4th in line for that promotion at work (other kids play more often than you), the teacher doesn’t like you (the coach always puts his own son at short)…they’re all learning opportunities. Do you. Find the right fit for you. Baseball is supposed to be fun. Learn from it, enjoy the journey, and look for the organization that best matches your endgame.

When parents and coaches team up to create good, respectful athletes, everybody wins.  It’s a partnership.  Take that seriously, work together, respect each other and, most importantly, respect the process.
