Reply to "My Son Wants to Quit Baseball..."

quote:
I have heard that he's sworn at parents who tried to talk to him about their kids' playing time.
Parents should not approach coaches about playing time or positions. Let your son grow up. he should ask the coach how he can earn more playing time.

"I really do feel that the coach has failed him."

The coach has not failed your son. Your son has failed to impress the coach enough to gain playing time.

"Any kid who once loved baseball the way he did would not want to quit."

A fourteen year old who is willing to quit based on an experience with one coach may not have as much passion to play the game as you believe.

"He's not learning anything, and he's not developing his skills at all."

Players learn in practice. They gain experience in games. If he's practicing he's learning and developing.

"The team could care less."

The game of baseball will go on without any one player. Ask Barry Bonds.
